The decrease of human growth hormone is associated with the loss of muscle tissue as we age.

<h3>What is a hormone?</h3>

A hormone is a chemical messenger that is released into the bloodstream in order to carry out particular physiological functions.

The human growth hormone is a hormone required during the growth that induces cell division during specific stages of human development.

The human growth hormone is secreted by specialized cells present in the anterior pituitary gland.

The expression level of the gene encoding the human growth hormone can be used in clinical settings in order to determine the presence of abnormal growth during embryo development.

In conclusion, the decrease of human growth hormone is associated with the loss of muscle tissue as we age.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option a. Only from Sac A to the beaker is correct.

Explanation:

As beaker contains glucose which is a monosaccharide and Sac A also have glucose in it, So, therefore glucose from sac A will move into beaker through the process of OSMOSIS.

Sac A (15% glucose) is less concentrated as compared to beaker (45% glucose) therefore this phenomenon will occur. (See attached image for more detailed and graphical explanation)

AVprozaik [17]

Catalysis An enzyme may catalyse a reaction by stressing or destabilizing the bonds of the substrates. This point in the enzymatic reaction is known as the Transition State. An enzyme can couple a nonspontaneous reaction to a spontaneous reaction so that anabolic processes will occur.

Explain why most farmers use stem cuttings to plant new fruit trees rather than plant seeds.

Dvinal [7]

The main reason that most farmers use stem cuttings rather than just planting a seed is that a tree's genetic variation will occur. The seeds of many fruit trees tend to vary differently from the parent, because seeds themselves are produced by sexual reproduction (i.e they receive genes from a male and female to form). As they are a cross from two sets of genes, many fruit trees are not “true to seed”. Their seeds will produce a generally different variety of tree from the parent. When using stem cuttings, it's almost like a cloning process.
