The correct answer is testosterone.
A chemical messenger simply refers to a hormone.
Testosterone is a lipid - based hormone. In fact, it is an anabolic steroid . Steroids are a type of lipid which has four rings of carbon atoms.
Testosterone is a hormone produced by the Leydig's cells in the testes, and which encourages the development male sexual characteristics such as deep voice, a beard, increased muscle mass and bone mass, and growth of hair on the chest.
Iguanas have spines along their backs to help protect them from predators. They also have a bunch of extra skin below their necks called a dewlap. This dewlap helps them to regulate their temperature, which is helpful as they are cold-blooded and their bodies don't control their body temperature automatically.
Answer:
The correct answer is 6.67 %.
Explanation:
The average osmotic pressure of the brain is 300 mM
Given the concentration of solution is 280 mM
Difference is 300 - 280 = 20 mM
This difference is sufficient to stimulate osmosis and make water move from CSF to the brain until the concentration becomes similar.
Also, it is known that the volume of brain is about 1200 ml on an average,
Volume of fluid moved because of osmosis = 20 mM / 300 mM * 1200 ml = 80 ml
Percent swelling of brain = 80 ml / 1200 ml * 100 = 6.67 %
