The main aspect used to differ coniferous tree are their leaves. Coniferous leaves look like elongated needles, instead of the regular flatend out leaves we're used to
Further characteristics:
Seeds are hard and grow in large groups, stuck to eachother.
Coniferous are evergreen trees (don't shed leaves nor change the colour of these, although this rule does not apply to all of them).
They have spread worldwide.
Can withstand low temperaurees and can be found even in places like the Artic circle.
I've pasted some images down below that might help you a lot. (Left - leaves; Right - coniferous trees).
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
<span>Damaged dna is excised by endonuclease.
Three excision repair pathways exist to repair single stranded DNA damage: Nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER), and DNA mismatch repair (MMR).</span>
The word- descriptions pair should be paired as follows;
- blood viscosity: the friction red blood cells encounter when moving past each other
- blood pressure: the force of the blood against the vessel wall.
- cardiac output: the volume of blood pumped out by one ventricle each minute.
Answer:
Renin; angiotensin I and angiotensin II
Explanation:
Renin is a key hormone involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which is responsible for regulating blood pressure in response to changes in blood volume. Renin is secreted primarily by the kidneys to promote the production of the peptide hormone angiotensin in the blood vessels. Subsequently, angiotensin stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, stimulating sodium retention by the kidneys. Renin acts on its substrate angiotensinogen to yield angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Finally, angiotensin 2 promotes the release of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex, which acts on renal tubules, leading to the reabsorption of sodium and water and the excretion of potassium.
