Answer:
c) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Explanation:
A tropic hormone is defined as the hormone which is secreted from one gland and acts on another gland. ACTH is released by anterior portion of our pituitary gland during the condition of biological stress. After it is released, it acts on adrenal gland so that adrenal gland could secrete another hormone named as cortisol (steroid hormone). In response to stress, cortisol increases blood sugar level, elevates brain's use of glucose etc. so as to counter stressful situation.
Apart from this cortisol also helps in regulating our metabolism, reduces inflammation and controls salt and water balance.
Prokaryotes. they are the oldest living organisms
<span>All living things are made up of cells, and depending on how complex the organism is, it may have one cell, like a bacterium, or trillions of cells, like humans. The question is, how does a fertilized human embryo with one cell develop into an adult with 5 trillion cells? The answer is in a process referred to as cell division. A single fertilized human egg cell will divide to produce two cells. The two cells have the same genetic information as each other and the parent cell. The cells will continue to divide until trillions of cells are produced. This is how a fertilized egg grows into a baby, and then an adult. This division of cells is referred to as mitosis.</span>
