Complete Question:
Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Which of the following is most likely an immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion?
(A) Increased activation of the immune system
(B) Increased urine production by the kidneys
(C) Increased bone and collagen formation
(D) Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells
Answer: Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells.
Explanation: Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion is the increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells (Adipose tissue).
Starvation occurs when an animal doesn't feed due to unavailability of food. The body system makes use of stored glycogen which is synthesized to glucose by hormonal secretion of glucagon by the pancreas.
However, when the glucose converted is finished. Cortisol is secreted, which then initiate the mobilization of fatty acids as source of energy from the adipose tissues (fat cells) in the body system.
Answer:
a. The allele for round seeds is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds.
Explanation:
Mendel found that when two pure breeding plants that differ from each other with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, all the progeny express the phenotype of one parent. The phenotype of the other parent is not expressed in the progeny. He concluded that the genetic trait that is expressed in the F1 generation is dominant over the other which is masked in this generation.
A cross between pure breeding plants for round seeds and the wrinkled seeds obtained all the round seeded progeny. This meant that the phenotype "round" was dominant over the phenotype "wrinkled". If the allele "R" gave round phenotype and the allele "r" imparted wrinkled phenotype, the allele "R" was dominant to the "r".
Taxonomy- the classification of something, especially organisms.
Classify- arrange (a group of people or things) in classes or categories according to shared qualities or characteristics.
Binomial nomenclature- the scientific way to name living things with a two part generic (genus) and specific (species) name.
Kingdom- a country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen.
Species- a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g. Homo sapiens.
Prokaryote- a microscopic single-celled organism which has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles, including the bacteria and cyanobacteria.
Eukaryote- an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaea.
Heterotroph- an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
Autotroph- an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
Unicellular- having or consisting of a single cell.
Multicellular- composed of several or many cells.
Hope this helps
The plant is classified as a Monocot.
Monocotyledons have only one cotyledon in the embryo. Its leaf veins are parallel. Its petals are in the multiples of three. It has a fibrous root pattern. It does not have a secondary growth. It does not have a cortex and its stem and vascular system is composed of bundles of vascular tissue scattered all throughout the stem without any specific arrangement.
I am thinking D. But I am not sure that it is the answer.
