Pituitary gland.

When you feel stress, the pituitary gland, at the base of the brain, increases its production of the hormone ACTH. This hormone tells the adrenal glands, found at the top of your kidneys, to increase their production of hormones. These stress hormones help you to concentrate, speed your reaction time, and boost your strength. Your hypothalamus also helps your body respond to stress.

1. In eukaryotic flagella, the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins are microtubules. 2. Ma

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

1) In eukaryotic flagella, the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins are microtubules.

2) Many cell organelles, most notably the nucleus, are anchored by intermediate filaments which are assembled from a diverse class of proteins.

3) Centrosomes are sites where protein dimers assemble into microtubules.

4) The extension of pseudopodia in amoeba is due to the regulated assembly and destruction of microfilaments.

5) The only cytoskeletal fibers not associated with intracellular movement or whole cell locomotion are the intermediate filaments.

6) During muscle contractions, myosin motor proteins move across tracks of microfilaments.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is a very important element of the cell, and is composed of three different structures: microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.

Microtubules are structures in the shape of hollow tubes that give shape to the cell. Microtubules also participate in cell motility by providing a route for the organelles to move through.

Intermediate filaments are the only ones that do not participate in cell motility: their main function is to provide mechanical support for the plasma membrane.

Microfilaments are a key component in cell motility, and also associate with myosin (a protein) to produce muscle contraction. Microfilaments also give the cell the ability to grow pseudopods.

Whether a fly has white or red eyes is due to alleles at a single locus. It is thus a _______ or _______ trait.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is "qualitative, discrete".

Explanation:

A qualitative or discrete trait is defined as a characteristic that have no intermediate features, and is often the result of genetic alleles at a single locus. For instance, if the form the seeds of pea could be either round or wrinkled, but not with intermediate forms. This is the case of the fly that has white or red eyes, but does not have pink eyes or other colors in between.
