Answer:
Cortisol
Explanation:
The most important human glucocorticoid is the cortisol. It is also called hydrocortisone or stress hormone. It is produced in the zona fasciculata layer of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands. It controls blood sugar level between meals. It helps in maintaining blood pressure by controlling salt and water balance. It also control a response to stress by making more glucose from proteins and fats.
Answer:
Even in a chemical reaction when atoms interact and create new products, mass is conserved. This is because the new substances created are composed of atoms that were present in the reactants. The atoms from the reactants come apart, rearrange, and re-bond in a different arrangement to form the products.
The answer is (D), because none of the other answers make sense
Answer:
- <u>Conventional plastics-</u>
"Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances."
"Oil-based polymers is currently used in packaging applications. These are virtually all non-biodegradable, and some are difficult to recycle or reuse due to being complex composites having varying levels of contamination.
- <u>Biodegradable plastics</u>-
"They are largely manufactured from renewable natural resources, to produce biodegradable materials with similar functionality to that of oil-based polymers."
Explanation:
<u>Complex Issue-</u>
- Diversity of biodegradable materials and their varying properties makes it difficult to make simple, generic assessments such as biodegradable products are all ‘good’ or petrochemical-based products are all ‘bad’.
- Biodegradable packaging materials are most suitable for single-use disposable applications where the post-consumer waste can be locally composted.
