In what way do the nervous and endocrine systems differ in a way

The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.

The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond. 

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.

Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication

sveta [45]

The answer requires looking at the meaning of the words 'theory' and 'law'. The formal definition of a theory is that it is a comprehensive explanation of a observed phenomenon supported by a lot of evidence. Law is a fact that is bound to be true in nature, example Newton's second law. However, a theory is subjected to continuous refinements based on the several new findings that happen with time. These refinements make the theory appear incomplete. As with the theory of evolution, a lot of research work is being put to understand the complex phenomenon of genetic inheritance of traits of behaviour. Unless there are evidences from nature for all the aspects of evolution in theory, it'll remain a theory and not become a law.

Answer is A) Yes, if scientists decide that enough evidence supports the theory.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The pressure of the steam turns a generator, which produces electricity. The difference is in how the heat is created. Power plants that run on fossil fuels burn coal, oil or natural gas to generate heat. In a nuclear energy plant, heat is produced from splitting atoms – a process called nuclear fission.
