Answer:

RBCs' production is controlled by erythropoietin.

Mature RBCs are released into the bloodstream after approximately seven days RBCs are produced in the bone marrow

Explanation:

The hormone erythropoietin is produced and released in the bloodstream by peritubular interstitial cells of kidneys. The function of erythropoietin is to increase the number of the precursors of red blood cells and thereby to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. When the oxygen supply to body cells is reduced, the hormone erythropoietin stimulates the development of proerythroblasts into reticulocytes and thereby increases the RBC production.

RBCs are produced by the process of erythropoiesis and take about seven days to become mature and to be released in circulation to serve the function of oxygen delivery. The maturation of RBCs also includes the loss of most of the organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria to accommodate hemoglobin protein. The life span of circulating RBCs is about 100-120 days.

Which of the following is a part of the diencephalon.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

The diencephalon is a part of the brain located inferiorly and anteriorly to the corpus callosum, part of the telencephalon, and superior to the midbrain, delimited by the latter by an imaginary line that runs from the nipple to the posterior commissure (epithalamus). The diencephalon consists of: thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, metatalamus and subthalamus. For this reason, we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is "d. All of the above".

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Human subject research is an investigation or research that include human as the subject. In other words, An Investigator conducts clinical research on humans getting data through interaction and intervention of individuals.

investigator A has investigated biological specimens. These specimens are coded and linked to the identifiers. Investigator B's research using biospecimens human subject is not according to the human subject research in the federal regulations as investigator B did not get the individual identifiers.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

The diagram is not given in the question, so the diagram is attached below.

Answer:

chloroplast, thylakoid  space

Explanation:

The photosynthesis process is categorized in two steps light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.

In light-dependent reaction, chlorophyll absorbs one photon and loses one electron. This initiates the flow of electrons down an electron transport chain and result into reduction of NADP to NADPH.

Along with this, it creates a proton gradient or concentration across the chloroplast membrane and into the thylakoid  space. The proton concentration or energy gradient is then used by ATP synthase for the synthesis of ATP and cellular respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is chloroplast and thylakoid  space
