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

Biology
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
4 0

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

What are some direct and indirect substances produced as a result of photosynthesis?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, "light", and sunthesis, "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

In describing the timing of Drosophila development, researchers use AEL to mean "After egg laying", for example, 40 h AEL means
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A fruit fly of 75h AEL is at larval stage.

Explanation:

The development of a Drosophilia starts from egg to larva to pupa then to adult. The full development at 25 degrees Celsius takes between 8.5 to 10 days. The higher the temperature, the faster the development of the Drosophilia.

The eggs hatch after 12-15 hours into larval stage which then lasts for 3-4 days(72-96 hours) then the pupal stage which also lasts for 3-4 days before it becomes a full adult.

Thus, 72 hours after egg laying would still be in larval stage. The larval stage ends after at leas 90 hours after egg laying.
