What is the primary site for amino acid uptake after a meal?
The liver is the organ that serves as the primary site of amino acid during metabolism.
Increasing the uptake of iodide by the thyroid gland and increasing the growth of the thyroid gland are two functions of what hormone?
u got me!
Why thyroxin is called as calorigenic hormone?
Thyroxin is a calorigenic hormone because it increases oxygen uptake and metabolism by the tissues and thus accelerates energy production,i.e., increases BMR
How does the process of diffusion function in the human body?
Diffusion is an important mechanism in the human body. It facilitates the uptake of water and nutrients into the cell, controls metabolic waste excretion and regulates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
Benefit of large water uptake in plants?
A Large Mineral Uptake
What is responsible for the uptake of oxygen?
calcium is
Which hormone specifically targets cells that produce hormones that affect glucose metabolism?
Insulin is the hormone that specifically targets cells that produce hormones affecting glucose metabolism. It is produced by the pancreas and regulates the uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose by cells in the body. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into cells.

What would occur if the uptake of calcium ions was blocked in the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
Sustained muscle contraction.
How can two people have identical caloric uptake and output and yet have different weights?
metabolism rates vary widely. Metabolism plays a big role in rate of caloric usage.
What does multilobular area of uptake within the thyroid bed mean?
Breaking down Multilobular area of uptake within the thyroid bed means the amount of radiation in the many lobes of the thyroid bed. The higher the uptake of tracer the faster the metabolism indicates hot spots for concern.
How does vitamin D have effect calcium?
The protein channels responsible for the uptake of calcium ions from the lumen of the intestine into the bloodstream is calmodulin. VitaminD is required for action of calmodulin.
In terms of metabolism why is net uptake of co2 slightly lower than o2 evolution in tobacoo plants?
Ou ema :)
Why growth hormone increases blood glucose?
by decrease glucose uptake by the cells and by gluconeogensis
Why growth hormone deficiency causes hYpoglycemia?
Growth hormone and insulin are both needed to uptake amino acids into cells. In GH deficiency cells produce more insulin receptors and become more sensitive to insulin. This causes increased uptake of glucose into cells.

What is the primary site for amino acid uptake after a meal?
