Answer:

many anterior pituitary hormones regulate other endocrine glands whereas posterior pituitary hormones regulate nonendocrine tissues

Explanation:

Anterior pituitary or adenohypophysis is the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Secretion of endocrine cells of the anterior pituitary is controlled by regulatory hormones released by hypothalamus. The hypothalamic releasing hormones bind to anterior pituitary endocrine cells, upregulating or downregulating their release of hormones. Anterior pituitary hormones stimulate endocrine glands: FSH and LH (ovaries and testes), TSH (thyroid), and ACTH (adrenal cortex).

Posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis is the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It  is not glandular it is just a collection of axonal projections from the hypothalamus. Posterior pituitary hormones regulate nonendocrine tissues: ADH-vasopressin (kidney tubules) and oxytocin (mammary glands, uterine tissues, brain).

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

No, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 binds to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release.

Explanation:

The O2 molecule is reversibly combined with the heme portion of the hemoglobin. When the partial pressure of O2 is high, as in the case of pulmonary capillaries, for example, the binding of O2 to hemoglobin and the release of carbon dioxide are favored, this is known as the Haldane effect. If, on the contrary, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 is bound to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release, this is known as the effect Bohr.

34kurt

Answer:

Option B, chemical energy to thermal energy

Explanation:

All living organism feed on food that contains energy in the form of chemical energy. Once the food is intake and processed for fulfilling energy requirement of all metabolic processes with in a cell, the remaining energy is released as heat (thermal energy). Thus, an amoeba while consuming a sugar molecule converts chemical energy with in the sugar to thermal energy in the form of energy molecules.

Hence, option B is correct
