The decrease of human growth hormone is associated with the loss of muscle tissue as we age.
<h3>What is a hormone?</h3>
A hormone is a chemical messenger that is released into the bloodstream in order to carry out particular physiological functions.
The human growth hormone is a hormone required during the growth that induces cell division during specific stages of human development.
The human growth hormone is secreted by specialized cells present in the anterior pituitary gland.
The expression level of the gene encoding the human growth hormone can be used in clinical settings in order to determine the presence of abnormal growth during embryo development.
In conclusion, the decrease of human growth hormone is associated with the loss of muscle tissue as we age.

Salt reduces the amount of water in a solution, because you're introducing another molecule. If the water concentrations are different, the water is going to want to reach an equilibrium to balance itself out. Because the salt solution has a higher water concentration than the plant cell, the water will move into the cell to try and balance out the concentrations. If the salt solution had a lower water concentration (water potential) then water would move from the cell into the solution.
The correct answer is; D
Homologous structures is the term used to describe physical similarities between related species that indicates a common ancestry.
Homologous structures are structures that have the same form or functions in different animals, indicating that the animals have evolved from a common ancestor. Homologous structures usually appear very similar in form but it may or may not have the same function in the different animals that are suggested to be related. The bones in the front limbs of many different mammals (such as humans, deer and bats) which are similar in their structure and arrangement are homologous structures.
