Explanation:

Metabolites are the different kinds of the substances which are essential to metabolism of the organism.

Metabolites produced by the plants can be categorized into the primary metabolites and the secondary metabolites.

The primary metabolites have important role in survival of plant and play an active role in the respiration and the photosynthesis.

On the other hand, the secondary metabolites are not involved in normal growth and the development of plant. Although absence of these type of metabolites can lead to impairment of survivability of plant in long run.

<u>Secondary metabolites are produced mostly by the plants for the defense purposes.</u> They include steroids, alkaloids, phenolics, essential oils, resins, tannins, lignins, flavonoids, etc.

Why is nonpoint source pollution more difficult to control than point source pollution?.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

<em><u>Some water pollution is caused from “point sources” that is discrete locations, from which pollutants are discharged, e.g., a pipe, ditch, ship, or factory smokestack. Point sources originate in large and easy to trace facilities, hence are easier to control. In contrast, pollution from “nonpoint” sources is cumulative, arising from multiple inputs over larger areas, such as farms, city streets, and residential neighbourhoods. Hence, such sources are harder to precisely identify, and because of this uncertainty, nonpoint source pollution is harder to control than the point source.</u></em>

A marked decrease in brain processing and memory in some older adults is MOST likely caused by: A. inadequate control processes.
Andru [333]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

The brain is an organ composed of neurons which controls all the voluntary and involuntary of animals.  In humans, the brain is located in the skull where the brain is suspended in a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid.

As humans ages and becomes old aged, the neurons in the brain losing their ability to perform their function, if they are lost they cannot be regenerated.

The lesions appear on the white matter of the brain and the brain shrink. Due to these known and other unknown features, the process controlled by these neurons become inadequate and shows slower brain processing and weak memory.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
