Answer:

A) Prolactin

Explanation:

It is prolactin (PRL) hormone which is responsible for milk production from the mammary glands of females just after they have given birth. Prolactin hormone is a peptide hormone which is secreted from the anterior lobe of pituitary gland situated just below our brain. The secretion of prolactin hormone is strictly under the control of endocrine neurons present in hypothalamus. Apart from milk production, prolactin plays important role in metabolism. It also regulates immune system & causes pancreatic development.

Describe the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and identify their parts
MrRissso [65]
There are differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. This difference is considered to be the most important distinction between groups of organisms.

A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today.

A Eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus; more than one chromosome and is typically a multi-celled organism.  <span>Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells.

Hi there!

We can compare prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells in following points:

• The prokaryotic cells are simple and primitive type of cells whereas •Eukaryotic cells are complex and advanced cells.

•The DNA is small and circular in prokaryotic cells whereas the DNA is large and linear in eukaryotic cells.

•In prokaryotic cells 70s type of ribosome is found in cytoplasm but in Eukaryotic cells both 70s (inside cell organelles) and 80s (in cytoplasm) are found.

• In prokaryotic cells cellular respiration takes place through cell membrane but in eukaryotic cells cellular respiration takes place through mitochondria.

Hope it helps!

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Fungi

Explanation:

Fungi (such as mushrooms) are eukaryotic and multicellular. They are decomposers, which means they feed on dead and decaying organisms. If the question was only asking for one that feeds on dead and decaying organisms, the answer could also be bacteria, for they are also decomposers, but bacteria are prokaryotes and unicellular.
