Answer:

The correct answer is (b) epinephrine.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, also known as <em>Adrenaline</em>, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands.

In medicine, epinephrine is used as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a vasoconstrictor in shock and as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronchial asthma.

When epinephrine is inhaled in small doses, it causes short-term relief from the symptoms by widening the bronchial tubes allowing air to pass through.

I hope it helps!

Briefly, one can categorize the 3 types of boundaries as so: At convergent boundaries, the two tectonic plates are coming closer to each other; at divergent boundaries they are increasing they move away from each other and at transform boundaries the plates are moving parallel to their boundary. Based on this, all boundaries will be divergent boundaries.

How do lipids differ from one another in function?
algol [13]

Answer:

The three fatty acids can be different from one another. Since the hydrocarbon chains are very non-polar, fats do no dissolve in water; instead, fat molecules tend to coalesce with one another. Since a fat molecule has 3 fatty acids connected to a glycerol molecule, they are also called triglycerides.
