Answer;

This is because the nervous system would no longer be linked to the endocrine system.


The reason as to why the adrenal and thyroid glands atrophy if the pituitary glands cease to function is because the nervous system would no longer be linked to the endocrine system.


Thyrotrophic and adrenocorticotrophic hormones from the anterior pituitary keep the adrenal and thyroid glands in action. If pituitary stops secreting them, it is obvious that adrenal and thyroid would be affected.

An animal cell with a 30% salt solution is placed in a beaker with a 20% salt
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the animal cell will burst

Explanation:

If the salt solution in the animal cell is 30%, it means the water is at a 70% concentration. Outside is 20%, so the water is 80%.

Water will enter the cell. Water is at a higher concentration outside the cell (80%) or a lower concentration inside the cell (70%) by the process of osmosis.

Eventually, the animal cell will burst, because it does not have any cell wall to control the swelling of the cell that occurs as water flows in.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
A renewable resource is something that provides power but will never run out. Eventually natural gas and oil and coal will run out. Wind is renewable because it will never run out, unless the world ends, then it won't matter.

How may the removal of the forest affect a river that flows beside the hill?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

If the forest on the hill is cleared, than the soil will lose its natural cover and protection from erosion. The soil will become much more exposed to the erosion, and its top layers will be moved away relatively easy and quickly. Those layers will move downwards, and practically will end up into the river that passes beside the hill. With a significant increase of sediments getting into the river, the river will start to deposit much more material. Also, the sediments will make a problem when there's heavy rainfall because the river will be able to get out of its river bad more easily and cause a flood. The water of the river will also became murkier, muddier, which will make it dark yellowish/light brownish in appearance when there will be rainfall.
