The endocrine system is composed of the following:
1) hypothalamus
2) pituitary gland
3) thyroid and parathyroids
4) adrenal glands
5) pineal gland and gonads
6) pancreas
Pituitary gland is involved in gigantism. Pituitary gland produces the growth hormone. Excessive growth hormone released by the pituitary may result to gigantism.
The enlargement of the thyroid gland is called goiter. It is a symptom of hypherthyroidism, a condition wherein levels of thyroid hormones in the blood are highly excessive.
Answer:
Primary succession is one type of the ecological succession which takes place on the land devoid of vegetation or barren land.
The species which first flourishes on this barren land are known as pioneer species which includes the species of bryophytes and pteridophytes like lichens and mosses.
These lichens and mosses help breakdown the barren rocks through chemical leaching and help increase the nutrient content. This allows the ferns and small pteridophytes to grow.
Then the area is colonized by the intermediate species which includes herbs, shrubs later trees. These intermediate species help attract the animals and thus help establish the biological community.
Thus, Lichens mosses → herbs→ shrubs →trees.
<h2>Angiosperms </h2>
Explanation:
Angiosperms are the most diverse group of plants, some statements which reflect angiosperm adaptations to life on land:
- Flowers attract animal pollinators carrying pollen from other plants of the same species
- Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds by wind or by animals that carry or eat the fruits
- In many angiosperms, the male gametophyte contained in a pollen grain can be transported many miles away by wind or animal pollinators
- Floral parts of the sporophyte protect the reduced female gametophyte from drying out and from UV radiation
- Seeds protect and nourish plant embryos, and fruits protect the seeds
- Seeds enable plant embryos to be dispersed long distances from the parent plant via wind or animals
I dont know if you mean it like this but
metamorphic rocks are located deep underground but often found on surface of earth due to uplift
Answer:
There are two processes used by viruses to replicate: the lytic cycle and lysogenic cycle. Some viruses reproduce using both methods, while others only use the lytic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA.
