<u>Answer</u>: Option D Epinephrine widens the air passageways in the lungs.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Adrenal glands are endocrine glands which are located above the kidneys.
  • The adrenal glands produces hormones form the cortex as well as medulla.
  • The hormones produced from the cortex are mineralocorticoids , glucocorticoids and androgens.
  • The medulla produces adrenaline and nor adrenaline.
  • The functions of some of the hormones are as follows:
  1. <em>Cortisol</em> is a glucorticoid which is released when blood glucose is low.

2.<em>Aldosterone</em> is a mineralocorticoid which is used for sodium conservation in the body.

3.<em>Nor</em> <em>epinephrine</em> is used in flight and fight responses causing arousal, alertness, anxiety etc.

4.<em>Epinephrine</em> is also involved in flight and fight responses it increases blood flow to muscles, dilates pupil , and relaxes the muscles and thus, also leads to widening of the air passageways in the lungs.

Thus, from the functions of all the above mentioned hormones it can be concluded that <em>epinephrine widens the air passageway of the lungs.</em>

Aloiza [94]
<span>This is speciation. In this process, two distinct species are formed through the intervention of some means such as differing environments or locations. This is done typically as a way of staying evolutionarily competitive in the area in which the species resides. The new species would be the exemplar of that which is best suited to the new conditions.</span>

Drag the labels to their appropriate locations on the concept map below to explore the links between antibiotic resistance, bina
Nataliya [291]
The correct sequence is:
a) Antibiotics: These antimicrobial drugs used to treat and prevent bacterial infections.

b) Antibiotic resistance: This sort of resistance occurs when bacteria are fully developed into the body and are able to defeat the drugs which designed to kill them. When certain bacteria become resistant, the antibiotics are unable to fight them, and hence they increase and affect the body.

c) Binary fission: Binary fission is a sort of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. It is found in unicellular eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium.
d) Conjugation: It is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by the direct or bridge-like connection between cells.

e) Mutations: is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence resulting in a gene, such that the sequence differs from the sequence found in human beings.

f) DNA replication: is the biological process that occurs in all living organisms to produce two identical replicas of DNA from a DNA molecule.

g) Genetic recombination: During this process, offspring are produced with the combinations of traits that are different from the traits found in either parent.

h) Genetic variation: It’s the variation in the DNA sequence in each of human genomes, making every human being unique in terms of hair color, skin color or the shape of their faces.<span>

Why dont plants photosynthesise in the dark
nignag [31]

Plants respire all the time, whether it is dark or light, because their cells need energy to stay alive. But they can only photosynthesize when they have light.

The oxidation of water occurs during photosynthetic electron transport during the light reactions of photosynthesis. In the absence of a source of light energy (dark reactions have no direct requirement for light energy), oxygen is not produced.

Explain how the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and ribosomes work together.
alina1380 [7]
A Ribosome is composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins.
They are made in the cell nucleus, in two types of subunits, the large and the small.
The subunits go to the cell body, where they can float free in the cytoplasm or attach to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

If a researcher is interested in measuring both the structure and function of the brain, which technique might one recommend
Anettt [7]
The best method for studying both the structure and the function of the brain would be the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
This technique measures the blood flow to different brain regions in order to determine which areas are active in certain brain processes. An increase in the blood flow increases the amount the oxygen the area is receiving that is needed for the functioning of the nerve cells.
