Answer:

D. Only the adrenal medullae

Explanation:

The adrenal medulla is the inner region of the adrenal gland. It consists of the modified sympathetic ganglion of the autonomic nervous system and develops from the same embryonic tissue as all other sympathetic ganglia. The cells of the adrenal medulla lack axons and are [present in the form of clusters around large blood vessels.

The chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla serve the endocrine function. These cells are innervated by sympathetic preganglionic neurons of the ANS. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine which are called neurohormone as being secreted by neurons.

While testing for biological macromolecules in an unknown, you find that it reacts strongly with iodine and the solution immedia
True [87]

The macromolecule must be starch.

Explanation:

Starch is a polymer of Glucose joined by glycosydic bond.

Starch is the main energy storage substance in green plants.

Starches react with iodine and give a bluish black or black color and thus iodine test is considered as a confirmatory test for starches.

In this experiment ,the solution turns very dark black on addition of iodine so we can be sure that the solution contained starch.

A student is measuring the effect of different temperatures on the effect of enzymes in biological systems. What temperature ran
viktelen [127]

Answer:

A. 25 °C, 30 °C, 35 °C, 40 °C, 45 °C  

Explanation:

Each enzyme has a temperature at which it works best. In humans and many animals, that temperature is around body temperature (37 °C or 98.6 °F). Most enzymes are denatured and work poorly at 40 °C (104 °F).

That automatically eliminates Option B.

I would pick a temperature close to 37 °C (98.6 °F) and temperatures at intervals above and below that.

Option D is wrong because it includes no temperatures above body temperature.

Option C is wrong, because it includes temperatures of 45 °C and 55 °C, at which the enzymes will be denatured.

That leaves Option A as the best answer. It includes only one temperature above 40 °C.

The study of the similarities and differences between embryos of different organism
Alborosie
I believe the answer is comparative anatomy. It is the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species. Similar body parts may be homologies or analogies, such that both provide evidence of evolution. Similarities in embryos are evidence of common ancestry. For example all vertebrates embryos  have gill slits and tails.
