Question
1) Homeostasis requires feedback loops in order maintain relatively constant internal conditions Below, you will find a situation in which homeostasis is being maintained: The human body must work to maintain a relatively constant concentration of Ca2+ in the blood When the blood [Ca2+] drops below normal levels, cells called osteoclasts will release stored Ca by breaking down bone. In order to begin this process, the osteoclasts must first come into contact with PTH; this is how the osteoclasts know when to start breaking down bone tissue. PTH is a hormone that is produced by the parathyroid glands when these glands detect that the blood [Ca2+] has dropped below normal levels. As the release of Ca2+ brings blood [Ca²+] closer to healthy levels, less PTH is secreted, until finally the blood [Ca²*] is back to healthy levels and no PTH is secreted anymore. a) Identify the sensor, control center, and effector in the situation described above. Sensor: Control center: Effector: b) Is this a negative or positive feedback loop? NIK 2) Read the plant characteristics below. For each, determine whether the characteristic of monocots or dicots. Write the letter M on the blank line if the answer is monocot, a letter D if is corresponds to a dicot. You observe the flowers on a variety of different species of plant. One spe 15 flowers per plant. Each flower on the plant has 16 petals. You are in the process of weeding your garden. After a lot of pulling, yo from the soil and notice that it has a very long root that extends deep into the soil that are significantly smaller branch off from the side of the long root. up a plant few roots A seed of a plant you are examining has one "seed leaf", a structure that nourishes the growing plant embryo.
