Answer:

d. nitrogen-containing base .

Explanation:

A nucleotide comprises a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base (nitrogen-containing base).

A nitrogenous base is a type of aromatic heterocyclic organic compound which essentially has nitrogen in it. The base can be a purine or pyrimidine. Purine nitrogenous bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G) while pyrimidine nitrogenous bases are cytosine (C), thiamine (T) and uracil (U).

Till the time a base is not attached to covalently linked phosphate group and a pentose sugar, it is known as nucleoside. But as soon as we attach any nitrogenous base to the nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed. So it means a nucleotide is nucleoside + nitrogenous base.

Examples are as under:

A nucleotide which has adenine as nitrogenous base is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while a nucleotide which has guanine as nitrogenous base is known as Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP).

"the _____ controls the release of our body s stress hormone, cortisol."
zepelin [54]
The correct answer is HPA axis.

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the most important neuroendocrine systems, which regulates the stress response and other functions such as the digestion, mood, emotions and the immune system.

The hypothalamus, when triggered by a possible stressor, releases two hormones; the vasopressin and the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH, in turn, triggers the release of the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. As a result of the secretion of ACTH, cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone, considered to be our body's stress hormone.
