Answer:

True

Explanation:

Endorphins are hormones of the body that are internally derived. They are opioid neuropeptides produces in humans and some other animals and are able to bind to opiate receptors. These endogenous peptides are similar to opiod drugs e.g morphines, they help to relieve pain and stress. It can also be referred to as the happy hormone.

Also, enkephalins are endogenous hormones produced in the body. They are opioid pentapeptides and are similar to morphines as they are able to bind opiate receptors. They also help in relieving stress.

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Enkephalins and endorphins are endogenous peptides while morphine is an exogenous peptide.

Enkephalins and endorphins are powerful analgesics 18 to 500 times more than morphine. Hence, morphine is less analgesic than enkephalins and endorphins.

Enkephalins and endorphins act on the  mu, kappa , delta receptors and morphine also acts on the same receptors. All of them has same effects on the body.

Hence, Enkephalins and endorphins are peptides that act like morphine.

Why would it be hard to find the CO2 level if the light intensity were very low? HELP!!!!
drek231 [11]
If CO2 was in very small amounts then it would be the limiting factor of photosynthesis, this means the process will take place at a much slower rate because it is lacking one of the raw materials it needs for the process to occur. To find the optimum light intensity you really need all other factors to be at optimum levels or in abundance.

Which two body systems interact to expel the waste product carbon dioxide
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

excretory system  and circulatory system

Blood is  part of circulatory system and as it move through various organs it exchanges the gases i.e give oxygen to the cell and take carbon dioxide from them.

Kidney is part of excretory system which removes carbon dioxide from blood and thus purifies it.

the movement of water through the plant is called transpiration pull.this is responsible for the pull of water into the leaves.it increases the absorption of minerals from the soil and also cools the plant.

This water vapour that transpire from the plant,is condense as clouds, which then falls to the Earth as rain and the water cycle continue
