Answer:
Recent studies have shown that dark skin colour was developed in the past for protection against cancer. Scientists claim that in the past natural selection favoured humans having dark colour as compared to humans having a fair colour. This is because humans having a darker colour produced more melanin which protected them from ultraviolet radiation. As a result, this skin colour protected more against skin cancer. Hence, Having a darker skin colour protected in survival and reproduction to people thousands of years ago.
True, a person can have two conflicting attitudes.
Answer:
Lipid insoluble hormones/Peptide hormones
Explanation:
Hormones produce their effect by binding to speific receptor. These receptors may be intracellular or membranal.
Membrane receptors;
The lipid insoluble hormones cannot cross the plasma membrane thus their receptors are found on plasma membrane. These are usually peptide hormones.
Examples; Insulin.
Intracellular receptors;
The lipid soluble hormones can cross the plasma membrane thus their receptors are found in cytoplasm. These are usually steroidal hormones.
Example; Testosterone.
Terms matched with the right definitions.
1. An organism that can make its own food – Autotroph
2. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one species benefits and no effect is apparent to the other species – Commensalism.
3. A cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and/or organelles as its major characteristic -Eukaryote.
4. The study of organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye - Microbiology.
5. A disease-causing organism - A germ pathogen.
6. A one- or few-celled organism with chromosomes; may have characteristics of both animals and plants – Protist.
An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.
Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).
The appropriate answer for this one is C. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and therefore the cell cycle would be continuously divide. To add, t<span>here is a term known as terminally differentiated cells. These cells that never enter the cell cycle again, meaning they stay in G0 and never divide. However, some cells can be triggered to depart G0 and re-enter G1, which permits them to divide again.</span>
