Answer:

Weight gain and depression are symptoms caused by imbalance of pituitary and adrenal glands and the cortisol hormone.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is responsible for the overall functioning of the body since it produces a variety of hormones. It is very small in size and is also known as the 'master gland'. It is made of two parts- anterior pituitary gland and posterior pituitary gland. The pituitary gland and its functions are controlled by the hypothalamus.

The anterior pituitary secretes hormones which act on adrenal glands, thyroid, testes and ovaries. The hormones produced are TSH, Prolactin, Luitenizing Hormone, Cortisol, Testosterone, etc.

Cortisol is produced by the adrenal gland under the command of pituitary gland. Cortisol helps in regulating blood sugar, blood pressure and helps in reducing inflammation. Any imbalance of adrenal gland will cause an increase or decrease in the production of cortisol. The symptoms produced on the imbalance are:

Obesity in upper body
High blood pressure
Mood swings, depression and irritability
Acne and other skin problems.

Explain why you know that diuron caused the coral to bleach.

CaHeK987 [17]

When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. Warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching. ... This is called coral bleaching. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead. So basically diuron is stressing the plants.

If it displays 3/4 of its near side before the full moon, which phase is the moon in?

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Waxing gibbous moon.

Explanation:

Waxing gibbous moon is called the lunar phase that occurs between the middle of the first quarter and the full moon, that is, when the sunlight covers more than 50% of the visible lunar surface but less than 100% of it. Thus, it is the fourth phase of the moon, within the crescent half of the cycle of said celestial body.

One substance has no membrane transporters to move it but can diffuse freely through open leak channels if there is a concentrat

Rama09 [41]

Explanation:

Urea is a small nitrogenous compound which is the main end product of protein catabolism in mammals

Urea is a nitrogen-containing substance normally cleared from the blood by the kidney into the urine
It is made predominantly in the liver from ammonia and bicarbonate and is one of the main components of urine
The rate of synthesis varies from 300 to 600 mmol/day depending on the protein intake
All of this urea eventually finds its way into the urine
Because urea makes up a large part of the obligatory solute excretion, its osmotic pressure requires significant volumes of water to carry the urea
Urea passively crosses biological membranes, but its permeability is low because of its low solubility in the lipid bilayer
Some cells speed up this process through urea transporters, which move urea by facilitated diffusion
Urea is passively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule, but its route of transport is not clear
Urea transporters have not yet been identified for the proximal tubule
