Recall that a small amount of releasing factor from the hypothalamus can cause the adrenal cortex to secrete a much greater amou

nt of cortisol. The action of cortisol, in turn, can result in a high final concentration of glycogen in the liver. This is an example of:a. hormone signal denaturation
b. hormone signal amplification
c. hormone signal accumulation

Answer:

The correct answer is- hormone signal amplification

Explanation:

The signals that are received by the cell can be amplified in the cell which results in the production of more than one molecule of the product. There is a signal pathway in every cell and the longer the signal pathway the more amplification chances are there.

For example, one membrane receptor is able to produce 10 secondary messengers and each secondary messenger generates 10 mRNA transcript so here the signal amplified by 1000 folds.

So in this question, it is seen that a small amount of releasing factor causing the release of a much greater amount of cortisol which shows the example of hormone signal amplification.

The answer is <span>b.reaction b releases more energy than reaction a releases.

The reaction a is an example of a chemical reaction while the reaction b is an example of a nuclear reaction. 
</span><span>Some main differences between the chemical and nuclear reactions are:
- The nuclear reaction releases more energy per gram.
- The nuclear reaction takes place in the nucleus of the atom, while in chemical reactions include electrons.
- In the nuclear reaction, part of the mass is converted into energy, which </span><span>violates the law of conservation of mass.
</span>
Therefore, the nuclear reaction (reaction b) will release more energy than the chemical reaction (reaction a).
