Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?

follicle-stimulating hormone

prolactin

thyroid-stimulating hormone

growth hormone

Answer:

growth hormone

Explanation:

Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.

Trava [24]

Answer: D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.

The ability of the water molecule to absorb and retain heat is called as heat capacity of water, because of this property the temperature of water remains the same for long, irrespective of the external environment. It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles because water molecules will resist change in it's temperature. This temperature regulation will prevent instant heating and cooling, hence, will provide suitable environment for the survival of marine organisms.

In eastern gray squirrels, Sciurus carolinensis, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant to the allele for gray fur (b). In a p
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The frequency of the B allele increased due to the selective pressures of the environment".

Explanation:

The missing part of the question is "Which of the following could best explain the increase in the frequency of the B allele in the population after five years?" at which the answer is "The frequency of the B allele increased due to the selective pressures of the environment".

In this study, the allelic frequency for black fur (B) in eastern gray squirrels Sciurus carolinensis changed from B=0.4 to B=0.6 within a lapse of five years. This increase is explained by the effect of selective pressures of the environment. For instance, is likely that new predators were more likely to detect squirrels with gray fur over black fur, or changes in the landscape benefited the black fur squirrels camouflage.
