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.

Blank 1: <u>hawks and owls</u>
Explanation: Tertiary consumers lie on the top of the food web or pyramid. They are dependent on other organisms for their food. These are carnivores by mode of nutrition. Here, the food web sequence would be like-
small birds----->snakes----->hawks and owls.
That's why they are the tertiary consumers.
Blank 2: <u>decomposers
</u>

Answer:
Answer is D.
Explanation:
Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that possess nucleus and membrane -bound organelles. They derived their name from the word eukaryote, which means true nucleus. They can be single-celled or multi-celled. Examples are fungi, some unicellular organisms, plants and animals.
Prokaryotic organisms are all other organisms that lack membrane -bound organelles and nucleus. Examples are viruses, bacteria and certain algae.
