Answer:

<u>Uranium</u> is the inner transition metals is critical to the nuclear power industry.

Explanation:

Uranium is a common transition metal found in rocks and is used for nuclear fission reactions. In a nuclear fission reaction, a neutron atom is hit on a uranium atom. As a result, the uranium atoms breaks down releasing huge amounts of energy. Also, more neutrons are released by the breakdown and hence the this neutron hits other uranium atoms and the cycle continues. The most active radioisotope of uranium being used in nuclear fission reactions is U-235.

A friend asks you how exocrine glands differ from endocrine glands. She knows that both form from invaginated epithelium. How do

klio [65]

Answer:

Exocrine glands secrete sweat and oil while endocrine glands secrete hormones.

Explanation:

As she knows the endocrine and exocrine glands in respect of their origin from skin, so our answer must be related to the skin so that she can understand easily. So our answer should be as follows -

Endocrine glands are those glands which secrete hormones directly to the blood stream but exocrine glands are those glands which secrete sweat and oils directly to the skin surface.
A duct is often present in exocrine glands but endocrine glands lack ducts.
