Answer: B

Like the nervous system, the endocrine system is a regulatory system. However, instead of using electrical impulses for signaling, it produces and uses chemical signals called hormones, which travel through the bloodstream and control the actions of cells and organs.

Which of the following is not a reason for the wide use of CFC's during the 1920's - 1990's?
Mila [183]
CFCs are Chlorofluorocarbon substances used in refrigerants (subtances used to keep other things cold) and in aerosol products.

they are both relatively nontoxic(nonpoisonous) and nonflammabale - at least as compared to alternatives.

They are rather volatile - they are not very stable. Therefore it does not make sense to say that they are strong - the correct answer is then strength.

The oil immersion objective is necessary to determine the morphology of prokaryotes
VLD [36.1K]
To clearly view the morphology of the prokaryotes, one needs a microscope with higher resolution i.e magnification of ×100. Use of oil for this purpose is important because it  reduces the refraction of light as it travels from air to glass. this process increases the resolution of the microscope making it possible to view morphology of bacteria.

__________can rapidly pass directly through the phospholipids of the plasma membrane
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Non-polar, lipid-soluble, and small molecule.

Explanation:

A non-polar, small uncharged molecule, for example, CO2, & O2 are the lipid-soluble molecule and can diffuse directly through the phospholipids of the plasma membrane.

The plasma membrane plays an important role in the life process of the organism, and the cells function. It is known as selectively permeable in nature. Non-polar, lipid-soluble, and small molecules can pass through the layer, but large polar molecules and ions cannot pass through it.
