Melatonin is a molecule that is produced in the pineal gland and secreted into the blood. Melatonin then travels to different pa

rts of the brain. It causes drowsiness and decreases body temperature to assist in the regulation of the sleep/wake cycle. What kind of control is used to regulate this molecule?
A.
muscular control, because the muscles can be used to control the release of melatonin
B.
neural control, because the brain sends the signal to release melatonin through nerve cells
C.
cardiovascular control, because melatonin flows through the blood to deliver the message
D.
endocrine control, because melatonin is secreted into the blood and regulates body processes

The answer is D.

Melatonin is a molecule that is produced in the pineal gland and secreted into the blood. Melatonin then travels to different parts of the brain. It tells the brain and the rest of the body about the time of wake and sleep. It causes drowsiness and decreases body temperature to assist in the regulation of the sleep/wake cycle. The melatonin secretion into the blood is regulated by the endocrine system, by the hypothalamus which on gets stimulated by the light.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option D which is that endocrine control can control melatonin.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • As melatonin is released from pineal gland which is a part of endocrine system.
  • The endocrine system is a chemical messenger system which has glands, which secretes certain chemicals known as hormone.
  • These hormone acts on different organs to control different metabolisms in body.
  • So melatonin which is hormone can be controlled by the endocrine system.

Answer:

1. in animal cell and 3. in plant cell In animals mitochondria transforms energy and chloroplast in plant cell  absorb energy from sun light and turns water and carbon dioxide into glucose

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria: It is the powerhouses of a cell oval in shape found in eukaryotic cell.Its a site of cellular respiration. It converts glucose in chemical energy known as ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). ATP provides energy to carry out cellular function by breaking high energy bond.Mitochondria are abundant in cells requires energy to perform functions such as muscle and liver cells.

2. Chloroplast: In plants and algae chloroplast is a site of photosynthesis,it contains a pigment chlorophyll which captures energy from sunlight and turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose as food of plants.

Answer:

C) Primary, tertiary and quaternary levels of protein structure

Explanation:

Primary structure; Covalent bond is present in form of peptide bond in the primary structuture of proteins. The amino acids are held together in the polypeptide chain by peptide bond.

Tertiary structure; Disulfide bonds are present between cysteine amino acids, that keeps the parts of polypeptide chain strongly attached to one another.

Quaternary structure; The Quaternary structure of protein is held together by hydrophobic interaction and disulfide bonds.
