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.

lozanna [386]

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are 2 physically different chromosomes that have the same genes but are not genetically identical. Sister chromatids are 2 copies of a single chromosome and so are genetically identical (they also are physically attached to one another).

How do scientist use ice to study ancient climates
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

To study ancient climates using ice, scientists use data from polar mountain glaciers.

Explanation:

From the analysis and interpretation of natural traces, scientists describe the climate for hundreds to millions of years. Data derived from tree rings, ice cores, corals and ocean sediments, caves, among others, are observed. It is possible to gather these data with geophysical or biological measurements and some reconstructed climatic variables, such as temperature and rain level.

Polar mountain glacier data can be analyzed in laboratories to measure the amount of oxygen and methane, in addition to other parameters that help to indicate climatic variations. NASA researchers started Paleoclimatology in the 19th century, studying precisely the expansion of ice caps.

. Do you think evolution is still taking place in the Galapagos finches? Why or why not?
andriy [413]
I do not know much about galapagos finches (have not read darwin maybe I should) . But you can be sure evolution is taking place on any species anytime. It is not about which species it is or what time it is. Evolution keeps going. Species keep changing, evolving, maybe very slowly, but it happens all the time.
