Answer:
The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.
The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.
Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).
Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.
Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.

Explanation:
Both Thermococcus and Thermoplasma are unicellular organisms that can live in extreme environments. Based on the concept of domains, what do they have in common? They both belong to domain Archaea. ... They both belong to domain Eukarya.
Answer:
Both C and E are reasonable answers.
Explanation:
Homeostasis describes the body's ability to maintain a stable equilibirum. In other words, if the body experiences a stress, it will generate a response that works to counteract that stress and restore itself to how it was prior to the stress.
A. This describes a cause and effect (BP down --> venous return down). It does not describe an active physiological response to counteract the BP drop such as an increase in heart rate. Not homeostasis.
B. Again, a cause and effect is described. Blood vessel walls becoming thinner is not a response to counteract increased BP. Not homeostasis.
C. Here a response to a stress is described. Men are drinking more water. The body responds by getting rid of that water, restoring the body to its former state. This describes homeostasis.
D. This sounds like homeostasis, but it's actually the opposite of what happens. Dilation of peripheral blood vessels is a way for the body to get rid of heat. This is the opposite of what you would want if the body got colder - it would make the stress worse, which is the opposite of homeostasis. In actuality the response to cold temperature is constriction of blood vessels to preserve heat.
E. This deescribes homeostasis. The stress is increased glucose. The body's response to manage it is to release insulin, which helps remove the glucose from circulation.
