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.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "arg+leu– or arg–leu+".

Explanation:

This bacteria is not able to growth on minimal medium or minimal medium  supplemented with leucine. This means that the bacteria needs external supplementation of amino acids to growth, either arginine or leucine. Therefore, this bacteria can have the genotypes of arg+leu– or arg–leu+, meaning that the bacteria is able to synthesize either of two amino acids, but not both, because if that was the case the bacteria would be able to growth on minimal medium.

Explanation:

Remember, it all started when Violet entered the inventing room and she began to show an interest in gobstoppers, believing them to be similar to gum, even though they were not meant for chewing.

The only way to send information back and forth is to use radio waves. Just like a radio station broadcasts a signal which you can listen to using a radio, astronauts and people on Earth can broadcast information back and forth to each other.
Radio waves are transverse waves.
