Answer:

A hematocrit value of your blood would be greater than normal because of dehydration.

Explanation:

The hematocrit value is an indicator of the proportion of the solid components of blood (red blood cells) with respect to the liquid component (it means plasma). When you are severely dehydrated, the proportion of plasma diminish while the solid components remain the same. In consequence, the red blood cells concentration will be greater and the hematocrit value (solid components/plasma) will be higher than normal. This condition is reversible, if you drink enough water, your hematrocrit values will be normal again.

Answer:

T (True)

Explanation:

The insects are very dangerous for the agricultural sector.

In general, the damages done by the insects are in the developing and especially in the less developed countries. The reason for that is that the agriculture in these countries is still done in more primitive way, and the modern day chemicals for protection are either used little, or are totally absent.

Thepotemich [5.8K]
It's because all living things need energy to do a specific thing for a much longer period of time. If chemical reactions undergo releasing energy, you wouldn't be able to function on something, and it would be for a much shorter period of time.

Which organ produces estrogen and progesterone?
NemiM [27]
<span>The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone in women. Both play an important role in the menstrual cycle: estrogen stops FSH production and stimulates LH release by the pituitary gland. Progesterone maintains the uterus’ lining. Men also produce estrogen, though at lower levels, and this is done through changing testosterone into estrogen with an enzyme.</span>
