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:
<h3>Offspring receive chromosomes from their parents, each chromosome contains alleles, each allele contains genes which determine the appearance of an organism</h3>

Answer:
- The Island population likely has fewer alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.
A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>
- Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than in the mainland population in these first few generations
A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>
- Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than in the mainland population
<u>A- Agree</u>- B- Disagree
- Biologist observed genetic drift but not evolution
<u>A- Agree</u> B- Disagree
Explanation:
If there was genetic drift, then allele frequency either increased or decreased by chance, irrespective of natural selection that is irrespective to weather those alleles helped individuals survive in the island environment. In molecular genetic data, there are statistical signature in the population variation that indicate weather selection or other processes occurred.
Answer:
a. It's a carrier protein doing facillitated diffusion
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the transportation of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration that is down the concentration gradient without input of the energy. Whereas the active transport is transportation of the molecules from the low concentration to the high concentration which is against concentration gradient by the membrane protein.
The glucose transportation process requires membrane protein for the transport and does not require any energy. Therefore, it is carrier protein which is doing the facilitated diffusion.
Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
A. the esophagus passes food to the stomach
Explanation:
The the digestive process isn't fully about the action of digestion! The digestive process begins in your mouth, where salivary glands moisten the food to allow easier transport down the esophagus
I hope this makes sense!
