Answer:

The correct answer is hypophysis or pituitary.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is at the size and shape of a pea and is also known as the master gland because it controls and stimulates the regulation of other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is itself an endocrine gland which secretes its hormone directly in the blood.

Some hormones released by pituitary that stimulate other endocrine gland are adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which stimulate the adrenal gland to release cortisol. FSH and LH hormone that stimulate testes and ovary in male and female, Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulate thyroid gland, etc. Therefore the right answer is pituitary.

How will the movement of water affect a survey if it is transferred from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution?
Inga [223]

Answer:

The cell will shrink

Explanation:

In an hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell through the process of osmosis. This shall be due to the high concentration of water in the hypotonic solution than that in the cytoplasm.

Due to this movement, the cell bulges out.

If the cell is transferred to a hypertonic solution, water shall move out of the cell thereby making the cell shrink. This is because water concentration in the cytoplasm shall be higher than that in the hypertonic solution.

Effect to the survey shall be an experience of the exact opposite of the previous immersion.
