Biology
1 answer:
enyata [817]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Each organism absorbs minerals produced by the other

Explanation:

Lichen is a symbiotic association between fungi and alga. The fungus is able to absorb essential mineral ions like calcium, phosphate and potassium better than the alga thus benefiting the alga. The fungus in return gets organic materials from the alga. The alga provides organic nutrients for the lichen through photosynthesis and the lichen provides protection from drying out because the alga lives within the fungus's cell wall.

"the _____ controls the release of our body s stress hormone, cortisol."
zepelin [54]
The correct answer is HPA axis.

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the most important neuroendocrine systems, which regulates the stress response and other functions such as the digestion, mood, emotions and the immune system.

The hypothalamus, when triggered by a possible stressor, releases two hormones; the vasopressin and the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH, in turn, triggers the release of the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. As a result of the secretion of ACTH, cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone, considered to be our body's stress hormone.

Alex17521 [72]

The correct answer is: A. Water molecules will move from Side A to Side B. The solution level on Side A will fall and the solution level on Side B will rise.

Because the barrier is permeable only for water, water will move via osmosis-down the gradient (into a area of higher solute concentration). Water tends to equalize the solute concentrations of the side A with the solute concentrations of the side B.
