Does calcitriol also know as vitamin d stimulate secretion when the blood calcium is high or low?

Biology

Korolek [52]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Calcitriol increases blood levels of calcium by increasing the absorption of calcium in the kidneys, increasing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine, and increasing the release of calcium and phosphorus from the bones. Calcitriol helps the body to use calcium found in foods and supplements.

A serving of granola contains 25 grams of carbohydrate, 5 grams of fat, and 6 grams of protein. how many kcal of energy are in t
saw5 [17]

<span>To determine the kcal of energy available from the serving of granola, multiply the number of grams of carbohydrate, fat, and protein, and fat by 4,9, and 4, respectively. Then add the results.</span>

25 grams of carbohydrate x 4 kcal/g= 100 kcal

<span>                     5 grams of fat x 9kcal/g= 45 kcal</span>

<span>            6 grams of protein x 4 kcal/g = 24 kcal</span>

<span>                                                     Total= 169 kcal</span>

Which homeostatic process requires energy to move particles across the plasma membrane?
Pani-rosa [81]
Active transport requires energy because unlike osmosis and diffusion which are passive transport methods which sees where the particles are moving along the concentration gradient, in active transport, the particles are moving against the concentration gradient and as such energy through ATP is needed for the particles to be transported.

harina [27]

Answer:

b. cause an increase in blood pH.

Explanation:

Carbonic anhydrases are zinc-containing enzymes that catalyze the reversible reaction of conversion between CO2 and bicarbonates (carbon dioxide hydration and bicarbonate dehydration). The conversion of bicarbonate to CO2 facilitates its entry into the cell. On the other hand, the conversion of CO2 to bicarbonate helps keep the CO2 inside the cell.

This enzyme is important in all living organisms for maintenance of acid-base balance (regulates pH ). For example, carbonic anhydrases lowers pH in the stomach by producing an acid.

Data clusters are sets of signs or symptoms that are grouped together logically. Match each sign or symptom with its appropriate
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

(A) PaO₂ below normal: PaO₂ is used to describe the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in the blood. When it is below normal, it indicates the individual isn't getting enough oxygen hence there is low pressure of dissolved oxygen in the blood. This sign/symptom falls under the Respiratory/oxygenation data cluster.

(B) Dyspnea on exertion: Dyspnea is a term used to describe shortness of breath while dyspnea on exertion is when an individual runs out of breath as a result of not been able to breath deeply/properly during or after an exercise. This sign/symptom also falls under the Respiration/oxygenation data cluster.

(C) Productive cough: This is a type of cough that produces/forces mucus out of the airway (thereby clearing the airway). This sign/symptom from this description is also Respiratory/oxygenation data cluster.

(D) Oxygenation saturation 92%: Oxygen saturation is when the body can supply enough oxygen to the cells and tissues within it's system. This sign/symptom is also a Respiratory/oxygenation data cluster.

(E) Feels "too tired to do much": This can also be referred to as fatigue. This is usually as a result of inadequate energy produced (usually from glycolysis) in the body. This sign/symptom, from this description, is a Reduced energy level data cluster.

(F) Requires frequent rest periods: This usually occurs as a result of imbalance in the body's metabolism. Here, the body uses more energy than it produces; more anabolic processes (energy requiring) than catabolic processes (energy produced/released). This sign/symptom, from this description, is a Reduced energy level data cluster.
