Answer:

"They are all organic compounds, that is, they contain the element carbon. Carbohydrates and lipids both contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (0); proteins contain these three elements plus one or more from nitrogen (N), sulphur (S) and phosphorous (P)."

Answer:

Lipid molecules contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates (about twice as much). Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in animals while lipids are stored as fats (in plants carbohydrates are stored as cellulose and lipids as oils) Lipids have less effect on osmotic pressure within a cell than complex carbohydrates.

What is an adjuvant? view available hint(s) what is an adjuvant? a chemical additive that increases the safety of vaccines a vac

Alexxx [7]

I believe that an adjuvant is a chemical addictive that increases the effectiveness of vaccines. It is a pharmacological or immunological agent that modifies the effect of other agents. It may be added to a vaccine to modify the immune response by boosting it such as to give a higher amount of antibodies and a longer lasting protection, and hence minimizing the amount of the foreign material or vaccine injected.

Which of the following is a source of energy made from plant and animal remains?

bixtya [17]

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals.

In common dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources.

These are sometimes known instead as mineral fuels.

The utilization of fossil fuels has enabled large-scale industrial development and largely supplanted water-driven mills, as well as the combustion of wood or peat for heat.

Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radiative forcing and contributes to global warming.

A small portion of hydrocarbon-based fuels are biofuels derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide, and thus do not increase the net amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The diagram shows structures found in a seed plant. What is the function of labeled X

Alja [10]

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

carries food produced by leaves

Explanation:

The diagram is a cross section of stem of a dicot plant, specifically <em>Hypericum perforatum</em>. It shows all the structures present in the stem like xylem, phloem, pith, cortex etc. The structure labelled X is phloem. It is present between xylem (stained red) and peripheral cortex. Phloem is responsible for conduction of sugars and nutrients in the plant thus it carries the food produced by leaves. Together xylem and phloem make the vascular tissue which surrounds the central pith (stained bluish-green).

In vertebrates, hormone production by the endocrine system is often controlled, either directly or indirectly, by the nervous sy

den301095 [7]

Answer:

If the question was actually pointing these (thyrotropin-releasing hormone TRH gonadotropin-releasing hormone GnRH antidiuretic hormone ADH thyroid-stimulating hormone (thyrotropin) TSH prolactin PRL follicle-stimulating hormone FSH luteinizing hormone LH) as the phrases, then the answer will be

•Thyrotropin-releasing hormone TRH describes ANTERIOR PITUITARY

•Gonadotropin-releasing hormone GnRH describes the HYPOTHALAMUS

•Antidiuretic hormone ADH describes the POSTERIOR PITUITARY

•Thyroid-stimulating hormone (thyrotropin) TSH describes the ANTERIOR PITUITARY

•Prolactin PRL describes the ANTERIOR PITUITARY

•Follicle-stimulating hormone FSH describes the ANTERIOR PITUITARY

•Luteinizing hormone LH describes the ANTERIOR PITUITARY

Explanation:

but if the phrases were to be this

1. Releases oxytocin

2. Synthesizes and releases PRL

3. Synthesizes and releases TSH

4. Synthesizes some hormones that are released into blood vessels bound for another gland

5. Regulated by hormones released into portal blood vessels

6. Is an extension of the Hypothalmus

7. Synthesizes oxytocin and ADH

8. Integrates nervous and endocrine systems

(...as found from another source),

the answers will be

1. Posterior Pituitary

2. Anterior Pituitary

3. Anterior Pituitary

4. Posterior Pituitary

5. Posterior Pituitary

6. Posterior pituitary

7. Posterior pituitary

8. Hypothalamus

....respectively.
