<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>

Describe what a limiting factor is and describe how each factor impacts the rate of photosynthesis.
Ipatiy [6.2K]
A limiting factor is anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing. these factors are mostly biotic . For example, Food or mates. Even competing for resources. Factors for the rate of photosynthesis range. The rate of oxygen output, carbon dioxide uptake, carbohydrate (glucose/sugar) production, temperature is also a limiting factor because At low temperatures, the rate of photosynthesis is limited by the number of molecular collisions between enzymes and substrates. At high temperatures, enzymes are denatured. As well as light intensity because without the sun it’s not even possible

Scientific concept for the water cycle
Airida [17]
Hello I believe the correct answer is:

The water cycle , also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water as it makes a circuit from the oceans to the atmosphere to the Earth and on again. Most of Earth's water is in the oceans. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Type II alveolar cells.

Explanation:

Type II alveolar cells produce and secrete pulmonary surfactant, a liquid with phospholipids that reduces the surface tension avoiding  the collapsing of the alveoli walls and making possible the entrance off air to the alveolar sac in order to  exchange O₂ for CO₂.
