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.

What is molecular polarity
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The electron density of a polar bond accumulates towards one end of the bond, causing that end to carry a slight negative charge and the other end a slight positive charge. Likewise molecules in which there is an accumulation of electron density at one end of the molecule, giving that end a partial negative charge and the other a partial positive charge, are called polar molecules.
