Answer:

Her eating behaviour can be explained by:

<em>b) Carbohydrates help increase levels of serotonin, which can have calming effects.</em>

Explanation:

Tryptophan is the precursor of serotonin. When Camila eats carbs her body generates and liberates insulin to the bloodstream, and it also stimulates amino acid absorption. In consequence, she now has large amounts of tryptophan in her blood that will help produce serotonin.

Serotonin helps Camila control her anxiety towards the upcoming test.

Ronch [10]
Answer: <span>DNA replication wouldstill  occur, but replication of the lagging strand would take much longer than normal.

</span><span><span>DNA ligase is the enzyme that binds the Okazaki fragments in the lagging strand. </span>Since the mutation resulted in much less DNA ligase, there would be less of this enzymes working for the replication process. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but it will be slower.

Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound waves move by actually compressing molecules--therefore in a vacuum it would be impossible for sound to travel. This is also why no sound can be heard in space.

What is required for the production of anterior pituitary gland hormones?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The correct option is c) hormonal stimuli

Explanation:

The pituitary gland, located in the anterior brain, under the hypothalamus, is formed by two lobes of very different origin. The anterior lobe or adenohypophysis, evolves as an evagination in the upper part of the mouth, from which it separates and grows towards the brain; the posterior lobe or neurohypophysis, is formed from the hypothalamus and joins the anterior lobe. The hypothalamus decides that hormones should release the pituitary by sending hormonal (hormonal stimuli) or electrical messages.

The secretion of hormones from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland is regulated by hypothalamic stimulation factors, transported through a local blood network, the pituitary portal system. In response to hormonal stimuli of the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland secretes growth hormones, the thyroid stimulating hormone (which affect the secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex and thyroid gland respectively), the corticotropic hormone stimulates the secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex: cortisol, which influences blood glucose levels, and aldosterone, which increases sodium retention in the kidneys, among others.
