Which of the following represents a difference between eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands? Eccrine sweat glands are
located deeper in the dermis than apocrine sweat glands. Eccrine sweat glands begin to function at puberty, while apocrine sweat glands function throughout life. The secretions of apocrine sweat glands contain more fat and protein than do the secretions of eccrine sweat glands. Eccrine sweat glands use exocytosis to make secretions, while apocrine sweat glands do not.
The secretions of apocrine sweat glands contain more fat and protein than do the secretions of eccrine sweat glands.
Explanation:
Eccrine sweat glands are the simple and coiled tubular glands and are more frequently distributed than the apocrine sweat glands. The sweat secreted by the eccrine sweat gland is water-based liquid with only a small quantity of ions, and other substances like urea, uric acid, amino acids, etc. The eccrine sweat glands serve in the regulation of body temperature through evaporation of sweat.
Apocrine sweat glands are also simple coiled tubular glands but with larger ducts and cavities than the eccrine glands. The secretion of apocrine sweat glands is the same in composition as the eccrine sweat except for the presence of lipids and proteins in it. Lipids and proteins in apocrine sweat make it milky or yellowish in color. Eccrine sweat glands start functioning after birth while apocrine sweat glands start to function after puberty only.
because the energy that comes from burning fossil fuels is converted into electricity and heat in power plants. When fossils are burned, carbon and hydrogen react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) during this reaction heat is produced
