Aorta is related to the aorta. Aorta is the main artery of the body.

An aortic growth or enlargement is when the size of the aorta increases up to 1.5 times its normal size. When this is ruptured, then the symptoms (breathing problems, loss of consciousness etc.) occur otherwise no symptoms are seen.

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).

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Some particles traveled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

Explanation:

Rutherford concluded from his experiment that there are empty spaces present in most parts of the atom while a heavy positive charge is present in the nucleus of an atom due to which the tiny positively charged particles deflects because of positive-positive charge repulsion. Most of positively charged particles passes undeflected which indicated the presence of empty spaces in the atoms. The electrons revolve around the nucleus have no effect on the deflection of positively charged particles.

Single strands of nucleic acids are directional, meaning that there are two different ends. What functional groups define the tw
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.

Explanation:

Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.

¿Cómo es posible que se hayan encontrado antiguos sedimentos glaciares en zonas como la India situada junto al ecuador?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Si los continentes no se han movido, entonces esto sugeriría una capa de hielo que se extendía desde el polo sur hasta el ecuador en este momento, lo cual es poco probable ya que el Reino Unido en ese momento también estaba cerca del ecuador y tiene extensos depósitos de carbón y piedra caliza. Si los continentes del hemisferio sur se vuelven a ensamblar cerca del polo sur, entonces la capa de hielo Permo-Carbonífero asume un tamaño mucho más razonable. Más evidencia proviene de las estrías glaciales, arañazos en el lecho rocoso hechos por bloques de roca incrustados en el hielo como el glaciar se mueve. Estos muestran la dirección del glaciar y sugieren que el hielo fluyó desde un solo punto central.
