The abiotic factors of a stream ecosystem involves salt, water, rocks, sediments and trash. This includes the temperature of the water, how much oxygen it contains, how acidic or basic it is, how fast or slowly, and how much sunlight penetrates the surface. A stream ecosystem is the ecosystem of a river viewed as a system operating in its natural environment, including biotic factors and abiotic factors.

Which of the following hormones is currently thought to decrease plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Calcitonin

Explanation:

Calcitonin hormone is released by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland.   This hormone works against the parathyroid hormone.

Calcitonin hormone regulates the level of calcium by decreasing the blood calcium level. This hormone inhibits the osteoclast activity of the cells and decreases the absorption of calcium in pregnant women and child. Hence, calacitonin decreases plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Unlike adults, infants alternate between short waking periods and short naps. what can we infer about their neurotransmitters?
just olya [345]

During the first one to two months of life, infants are incapable of deep sleep (they do not have trouble falling asleep but they do not generally stay asleep for very long stretches). This happens because infants can’t make the difference between night and day - they do not yet have a circadian rhythm. Around six weeks, the hormone melatonin is produced (pineal gland) and it helps establish a normal sleep-wake cycle.

Answer: Cant give a solid answer if theres no graph attached.
