Answer:

c. immune functions.

Explanation:

The endocrine system is involved in the regulation of metabolic rate, body temperature (thermoregulation), tissue development and labor contractions except immune functions.

Studies have shown that no hormone has been identified as being important in the regulation of the immune system. Therefore immune functions is not a regulatory function of the endocrine system.

Although, there have been articles on the endocrine and immune system crosstalk, only a hypothesis of various proteohormones not single hormones have been discovered to act on immunocompetent cells.

3. Is it possible to harvest solar energy trapped by leaves? Suggest some methods with reasons.​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

Most solar energy occurs at wavelengths unsuitable for photosynthesis. Between 98 and 99 percent of solar energy reaching Earth is reflected from leaves and other surfaces and absorbed by other molecules, which convert it to heat. Thus, only 1 to 2 percent is available to be captured by plants.

Why is the jaw of a dogfish underslung? what disadvantages does it have? ...?
Iteru [2.4K]

 First off, the jaw itself, is capable of projecting an impressive 30% of the total head length, which is over 10% more than the jaw protrusion of a lemon shark.  Also note the teeth of <span>Squalus acanthias </span>actually interlock to form an almost uniform cutting surface. Finally on either side of the jaw you have what is referred to as labial cartilage. These structures fold out as the dogfish projects its jaw, essentially causing the jaw to take on a tubular shape, which increases suction pressure as the shark opens its mouth.  As the jaws close these cartilages snap back into place in folds along the side of the jaw, which is why spiny dogfish, smooth dogs, nurse sharks, and other sharks that make use of this mechanism have such distinctive “cheeks.” The disadvantage it has is that it cannot open its mouth too much.

A que altura debe moverse un costal de cemento de 50kg para asegurar que su energía potencial sea de 10,500 j?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

21 m

Explanation:

La energía potencial de un cuerpo es la energía que posee el cuerpo en virtud de su posición.

La energía potencial se da como;

E = mgh

Dónde;

m = masa del cuerpo

g = aceleración por gravedad

h = altura del cuerpo

Aquí necesitamos obtener la altura del cuerpo.

h = E / mg

h = 10500/50 * 10

h = 21 m
