Answer: The answer is ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)

Explanation:

ACTH, known as Adrenocorticotropic hormone, is a hormone secreted by the Anterior Pituitary gland. Its function is primarily to stimulates the adrenal cortex gland, which in turns release its own hormones generally known as Corticosteriods such as

- Aldosterone

- deoxycorticosterone etc

These corticosteriods exert several functions ranging from

- transport of electrolytes and distribution of water in tissues to

- metabolism of carbohydrates to release blood sugars; and break down of proteins and fats

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

The deep-colored, water-soluble proteins, which are mainly found in Rhodophyta and cyanobacteria are known as phycobiliproteins. They captivate the light energy and then pass it to the chlorophyll at the time of photosynthesis.  

They are comprised of proteins and are covalently attached through cysteine amino acid chromophores known as phycobilins. Thus, the correct answer is option E.

Snowcat [4.5K]

☁️ Answer ☁️

Photosynthesis is a process by which phototrophs convert light energy into chemical energy, which is later used to fuel cellular activities. The chemical energy is stored in the form of sugars, which are created from water and carbon dioxide.

Hope it helps.

ANTONII [103]
The light-dark cycle caused by the rising and setting of the sun is responsible for what are called circadian rhythms. These are biological processes that show a cycle of around 24 hours, the time between consecutive rising of the sun. Experiments have shown that without the external cue of sunlight, the circadian rhythms of organisms tend to break down. These can be reset by being re-exposed to these cues. Jet lag is due in part to a re-setting of the circadian rhythm, as you travel to a different time zone, your body has to become used to a different timing of night and day. <span>  </span>

Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are joined into a continuous strand by _____.Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a. Ligase

b. Ligase ( it's repeated)

Explanation:

DNA synthesis begins, therefore, by synthesizing a short segment of RNA called a primer, which primer is synthesized by an enzyme called Primasa. Primasa is an RNA polymerase that uses DNA as a template. All fragments of Okazaki begin with a Primer. Subsequently, the DNA polymerase III Holoenzyme performs the synthesis of the corresponding DNA fragment until it reaches the next primer. At that time, DNA polymerase Ia replaces the DNA polymerase Holoenzyme III. The DNA polymerase I is responsible for removing the RNA primer through its 5'P-3'OH exonueotic activity and at the same time fills the hole by synthesizing DNA.

Finally, the two Okazaki fragments have to be joined, it is necessary to link the 3'OH end of a fragment with the 5'P of the next fragment. This work of sealing and joining the successive fragments is done by Ligase.
