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: False
Explanation:
The teeth of mammals do not have the similar function to perform. They have different types, number and sizes of teeth that are equipped to perform different functions.
Example: Human beings have incisors,canines, molar and premolar. The incisors are used to cut the food and hold the food.
The canines are use to tear hard food such as meat. The molars and premolars are used to grind the food.
Hence, the given statement is false.
Answer:
A.) Core
Explanation:
Core definition: a central and often foundational part usually distinct from the enveloping part by a difference in nature.
Answer: B. Any cells of the human body or placenta.
Explanation:
All types of cells in the human body can develop from pluripotent stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are also considered pluripotent.
It regulates the body's growth, metabolism (the physical and chemical processes of the body) and sexual development and function.
