<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>

What is an example of cell theory and also a non example
Lisa [10]
Viruses are at the heart of this century-old debate. Viruses<span> are parasites that infect plants, animals, fungi and bacteria. They consist of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat and are unable to grow or reproduce without a host. The classification of viruses has confused scientists for nearly 100 years. Originally they were viewed as poisons. In fact, the word ''virus'' is Latin for ''poison.'' They have since been viewed as living creatures, then mere bio-chemical compounds, and, most recently, somewhere in between chemical compounds and lifeforms.</span>Non-cellular life<span> refers to organisms, such as viruses, that exist without any cells, and it is a very controversial topic. The cell theory, which is one of the fundamental tenets of biology, states that all living things are composed of cells and that cells are the basic units of life. So the idea that something can be considered alive without having cells is an issue that is up for debate.

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb

Explanation:

Ulna and radius are the two bones of the forearm. These bones articulates with the humerus and carpels of the hand.

b. The radius forms the point of the elbow: The elbow joint is the hinge joint that forms between the proximal ends of the radius and ulna in the forearm and distal ends of the humerus. The radius forms a pointed end.

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb: The wrist forms a complex joint. It forms a transition between the hand and the forearm. The radial deviation in the wrist forms the basis for the movement of the tilting of the wrist joint towards the thumb.

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid. Acetic acid is a weak acid. Which statement about hydrochloric acid and acetic acid is corre
mixas84 [53]

The correct statement about hydrochloric acid and acetic acid is : ( A )

The pH of a solution of hydrochloric acid must be less than the pH of a solution of acetic acid.

Given that pH is the inverse of concentration of H₃O⁺ ions , The stronger acid ( Hydrochloric acid ) dissociates in solution producing a maximum amount of  H₃O⁺ ion, while the weak acid ( acetic ) will disassociate partially in a solution producing a lesser amount of  H₃O⁺ ion.

Therefore the pH of a solution of hydrochloric acid must be less than the pH of a solution of acetic acid.
