Answer:
The correct option is b. cones.
Explanation:
Cones and rods are specialized cells, called photoreceptor cells, that are found in the retina and are responsible for our vision.
Cones, allow to the human eye to have a visual acuity (ability of the eye to resolve, transmit sharp images and perceive small details in an object) and provide sensitivity to the color, are more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.
There are three different types of cones in color reception: "L cones" (sensitive to long wavelength, which is red), "M cones" (sensitive to medium wavelength, which is green) and "S cones" (sensitive to short wavelength, which is blue). Since color perception depends on the activation of these three types of nerve cells, it follows that the visible color can be determined based on three numbers called triestimulus values.
The rods are necessary for the perception of light and darkness and to adapt to night vision, because they are very sensitive to low intensity light. On the contrary, they become completely blind to bright light and, therefore, lack importance with regard to daytime vision or visual acuity.

Answer:
Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis)
Explanation:
- The three-stage process describing the physiological changes that take place in the body when it is under stress is known as general adaptation syndrome (GAS).
- The model describing the three-stage process was given by the scientist Hans Selye.
- According to this model, the responses in the body that occur during stress is regulated by the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) where the brain senses the stress and then the signals travel from the hypothalamus to the pituitary and finally the body releases cortisol from adrenal glands that contributes to the various changes.
Aminopeptidases are enzymes that cleave polypeptides, or proteins,at the N terminus, or the amino end. Protein hydrolysis is breaking down proteins into amino acids by adding water. Aminopeptidases are enzymes that cause protein hydrolysis. Once the protein is broken down into amino acids, the amino acids can be metabolized. Usually the body uses carbohydrates or lipids for metabolism, but in rare cases, such as starvation, proteins can be broken down and used for energy.
Protein metabolism starts with the enzyme,pepsin, in the stomach and the smaller polypeptides travel to the small intestine where trypsin and chymotrypsin break them down into amino acids. Most of the newly available amino acids are combined to form new proteins. If the body has no need for proteins, they are converted to glucose or ketones and are decomposed. Breaking down amino acids results in nitrogen, which is converted to urine. In starvation, protein is broken down to amino acids and amino acids are broken down to oxaloacetate acid, pyruvate and acetyl coA and these intermediates are used in the Kreb cycle to produce ATP.
Hello there buddy,
<span>RNA is able to hydrogen bond with water (otherwise it wouldn't be soluble), but since water is small and prefers to be able to move around freely, these hydrogen bonds are quite unstable. For that reason, RNA forms much more stable bonds with larger, compatible molecules. Among those, different RNA molecules may bind to DNA or proteins to serve some function, while they can also bind complementary strands of RNA.

I hope this helps you!
