Ghrelin is a hunger-stimulating hormone which is secreted by specialized cells in the stomach.

Ghrelin is a hormone made in the intestine. It is often called the "hunger hormone" and is sometimes called lenomorelin.

It reaches the brain through the bloodstream and tells the brain to feel hungry and start looking for food.

It's main function is to increase appetite. Eat more food, take in more calories and store fat.

In addition, it affects the sleep-wake cycle, reward-seeking behavior, taste sensation, and carbohydrate metabolism.

This hormone is made in the stomach and is secreted when the stomach is empty. It enters the bloodstream and affects a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, helping regulate hormones and appetite. Lower levels make you feel fuller and easier to cut calories.

Daniel is studying feeding relationships in a neighborhood pond. He observes several organisms that feed on one another, and he
vichka [17]

So given the suggested food chain of algae-snail-sunfish-heron we can conclude that this food chain is heavily dependent on the process of photosynthesis.

The algae is the only of the organism that are directly dependent of the photosynthesis for their survival, while the snail, sunfish, and heron, and indirectly dependent on it.

Since we are talking about a food chain, in essence it means that all organism are connected through one another. So the algae perform photosynthesis for its own survival, the snail is using the algae is a food source, the snail is later eaten by the sunfish, and the sunfish goes on the menu of the heron.

If the algae, by some scenario, are not able to perform photosynthesis, than they will die off, and if they die off, than the snail will die off because of lack of food, if the snail dies off, along with it dies off the sunfish because of lack of food, and if the sunfish is out of the scene, the heron goes as well.

So we can conclude that the process of photosynthesis is of crucial importance for the survival of all four species, be it directly or indirectly.

Plants typical of the tundra are very short in stature or height. What is advantageous about this so called 'cushion plant form
melomori [17]

Answer:

c. daytime conductive heat gain from adjacent ground surface would be greater

Explanation:

The plants in the tundra had to adapt to survive so they became short and developed closer together, this can create a sort of cushion that locks in the heat that the sun can provide, conductive heat from the adjacent soil is also taken advantage of and the leaves on the plant absorbe as much heat from the sunlight as they can, growin closer together also helps them mantain the heat.

Why do all plants have similar organelles?
Nikitich [7]
Plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles, since they each have different needs. For example, plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis, but animal cells do not. Diagram of an animal cell with components lettered.

Would you expect to find thermoacidophilic bacteria and enteric bacteria living in the same enviornment
Katyanochek1 [597]
No!

Thermoacidophilic bacteria would be bacteria that live in hot (thermo) acid (low pH) environments.

Enteric bacteria live in your gut! So they are mesophiles (body temperature) and prefer more of a neutral pH.
