A group of closely related organisms that are very similar to each other and are usually capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. The species is the fundamental category of taxonomic classification, ranking below a genus or subgenus. Species names are represented in binomial nomenclature by an uncapitalized Latin adjective or noun following a capitalized genus name, as in Ananas comosus, the pineapple, and Equus caballus, the horse.
2. Logic A class of individuals or objects grouped by virtue of their common attributes and assigned a common name; a division subordinate to a genus.
3. Chemistry A set of atoms, molecules, ions, or other chemical entities that possess the same distinct characteristics with respect to a chemical process or measurement.

topjm [15]

Complete Question:

Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Which of the following is most likely an immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion?

(A) Increased activation of the immune system

(B) Increased urine production by the kidneys

(C) Increased bone and collagen formation

(D) Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells

Answer: Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells.

Explanation: Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion is the increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells (Adipose tissue).

Starvation occurs when an animal doesn't feed due to unavailability of food. The body system makes use of stored glycogen which is synthesized to glucose by hormonal secretion of glucagon by the pancreas.

However, when the glucose converted is finished. Cortisol is secreted, which then initiate the mobilization of fatty acids as source of energy from the adipose tissues (fat cells) in the body system.

Which respiratory-associated muscles would contract or relax during forced expiration, for example blowing up a balloon?
Nutka1998 [239]
The correct answer is B, internal intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles would contract.
Exhalation is the flow of the breath out of the body. During forced exhalation, internal intercostal muscles contracts which lower the rib cage and decrease thoracic volume, while the abdominal muscles push up on the diaphragm which causes the thoracic cavity to contract.
