Main parts and their functions :
- Hypothalamus : Links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It controls the release of 8 hormones by the pituitary gland, controls body temperature, control of food and water intake, hunger and thirst!
- Pituitary gland : Produces essential hormones for everything living such as the growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone, etc.
- Thyroid gland : Produces thyroid hormones that regulate the body metabolism, play an important role in bone growth and development of the brain and nervous system in children!
- Parathyroid glands : Release parathyroid hormone which plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the blood and bone metabolism.
- Adrenal glande : Produce hormones that help the body control blood sugar, burn protein and fat, react to stressors, and regular blood pressure.
- Pineal body/gland : Secretes the melatonin hormone which may help regulate the wake-sleep cycle of the body.
- Reproductive glands : Main source of sex hormones for males and females.
- Pancreas : Has digestive and hormonal functions. One part of the pancreas called the exocrine, secures digestive enzymes. While the other part of the pancreas called the endocrine, secretes hormones called insulin and glucagon. Overall, these hormones regulate the level of glucose in the blood.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Genotype Phenotype
SS 1/4 Short hair 3/4
Ss 2/4 Short hair 3/4
ss 1/4 Long hair 1/4
Explanation:
Both are heterozygous for the trait so we can expect that the cross would be:
Ss x Ss
S s
S SS Ss
s Ss ss
So the resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:
1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.
2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.
1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.
But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:
Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
Long hair: 1/4
So in summary:
Genotype Phenotype
SS 1/4 Short hair 3/4
Ss 2/4 Short hair
ss 1/4 Long hair 1/4
All living things are made up of cells. All non-living things are not.
A dill pickle is technically "living" since it was once growing as a plant. Therefore, the dill pickle has cells.
However, the rest of the items do not, as they are non-living things.
C. Sliding friction between a desk and the floor once it is moving
This process is called osmosis whereby water exits the cell through its selectively permeable membrane and into the salt solution to dilute and balance the pressure caused by the concentrated salt solution.
