Answer:
c) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Explanation:
A tropic hormone is defined as the hormone which is secreted from one gland and acts on another gland. ACTH is released by anterior portion of our pituitary gland during the condition of biological stress. After it is released, it acts on adrenal gland so that adrenal gland could secrete another hormone named as cortisol (steroid hormone). In response to stress, cortisol increases blood sugar level, elevates brain's use of glucose etc. so as to counter stressful situation.
Apart from this cortisol also helps in regulating our metabolism, reduces inflammation and controls salt and water balance.
Answer:
1.
Explanation:
Xylem cell is a plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.
2. Phloem is the vascular tissue in charge of the transport and distribution of organic nutrients. The phloem is also a pathway to signaling molecules and has a structural function in the plant body.
3. Stomata are composed of a pair of specialized epidermal cells referred to as guard cells. Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.
4. Guard cells optimize leaf gas exchange in response to changing environmental conditions and their turgor is controlled by alterations in atmospheric CO2 concentration, light intensity, humidity, and the drought hormone abscisic acid.
