This is an example of analogous structures, they've evolved it independently. Even though they have similarities, still the evolution and purpose of the hair loss is different and independent, also they do not share a common ancestor, which makes it an example of an analogous structures. Another good example of this structures are the wings of the birds and the insects, they do not share a common ancestor, but they have both developed wings for flying.

How would earths climate differ if water were not a polar molecule
ser-zykov [4K]
Water molecules bond to each other in a covalent bond where they stay connected. They also have poles like a magnet, making it a polar molecule.
If water is no longer polar the surface tension would lower to the point where ice can no longer float, the water would freeze, cooling the climate considerably.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. alexis is out mowing the lawn and starts to feel dehydrated. her will secret
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Her hypothalamus will secrete vasopressin. If her dehydration becomes severe, her secretion of vasopressin will increase.

<h3>What is vasopressin?</h3>
  • The posterior pituitary gland releases the peptide hormone vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone.
  • Which is produced by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus (neurohypophysis).
  • It primarily functions as an anti-diuretic in the kidney, where it causes the body to reabsorb water by acting on the distal region of the nephron when it is dehydrated.
  • The AVP gene for it is found on human chromosome 20.
  • Vasopressin has an antidiuretic effect; it reduces the volume of urine by raising the collecting tube's water permeability.
  • It attaches to the G protein-coupled V2 receptor, which in turn starts a signaling cascade through the PKA.
  • Aquaporin 2 (a transmembrane pore) is produced as a result, and it is then transported to the apical/urinary membrane.

How do veins keep blood moving
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The return of blood to the heart is assisted by the action of the skeletal- muscle pump. As muscles move, they squeeze the veins running through them. Veins contain a series of one-way valves, and they are squeezed, blood is pushed through the valves, which then close to prevent backflow.
