Ans.

The greenhouse gases are defined as gases that absorbs and emit solar energy within a thermal IR range (infrared range). These gases trap the warmth of sun in the lower atmosphere and thus, increase the temperature of environment.

The greenhouse gases result in greenhouse effect that causes increase in Earth's average temperature. Primary greenhouse gases, present in atmosphere of Earth include carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide.

Describe what hormones are and what they do

Wittaler [7]

Hey hope this helps. So starting off with a few things that cause hormones.

The Endocrine System , So The best way to answer the question "what are hormones?"  is to take a look at some of the major hormonal systems in the body. Hormones are created by glands, which are part of the endocrine system. The main hormone-producing glands I've listed below

Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus is responsible for body temperature, hunger, moods and the release of hormones from other glands; and also controls thirst, sleep and sex drive.

Parathyroid: This gland controls the amount of calcium in the body.

Thymus: This gland plays a role in the function of the adaptive immune system and the maturity of the thymus, and produces T-cells.

Pancreas: This gland produces the insulin that helps control blood sugar levels.

Thyroid: The thyroid produces hormones associated with calorie burning and heart rate.

Adrenal: Adrenal glands produce the hormones that control sex drive and cortisol, the stress hormone.

Pituitary: Considered the "master control gland," the pituitary gland controls other glands and makes the hormones that trigger growth.

Pineal: Also called the thalamus, this gland produces serotonin derivatives of melatonin, which affects sleep.

Ovaries: Only in women, the ovaries secrete estrogen, testosterone and progesterone, the female sex hormones.

Oh and by the way the person below me copied and pasted her answer here's proof. I posted a screenshot of her answer.

Just saying.

During which phase of mitosis do the nuclear membrane, nucleolus, and nucleus dissolve?

Telophase because the chromosomes reach poles and new nuclear membranes form around the chromosomes, creating the nuclei for two new cells. The chromosomes decondense and the cell splits into two daughter cells, each with a nucleus.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

oxytocin

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is a small gland that divides into two distinct portions, the anterior and posterior lobes, and is located at the base of the brain.

The anterior pituitary, also known as the adenohypophysis, secretes six important peptide hormones, they are:

The growth hormone;
Adrenocorticotropin;
The thyroid stimulating hormone;
Prolactin;
Two gonadotropic homons - FSH and LH;

Oxytocin is not a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary but by the posterior pituitary, which is known as the neurohypophysis.
