ANSWER: ECDYSONE

EXPLANATION: Ecdysone is produced and released from the prothoracic gland located at the prothorax of the insects, which act mainly to stimulates molting or ecdysis (i.e ex-sheating of old cuticle) in insects.

Moreover, the release of ecdysone to trigger molting and metamorphosis, is stimulated by PTTH .

Furthermore, in cases where juvenile hormone is absent, an insect will still metamorphose into the adult form.

Answer:

ecdysone

Explanation:

Ecdysone can be explained or known as a steroid hormone, which is being  secreted by prothoracic gland. And in its active form, stimulates metamorphosis and regulates molting in insects. It is also known to be steroid hormone and derived from cholesterol.

It should be understood that the hormone is able to carry out its activities, such as  molting and metamorphosis through its active metabolite 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E).

In conclusion, it should be understood that PTTH stimulates the release of ecdysone to trigger molting and metamorphosis.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Anaerobic respiration produces a relatively lesser amount of energy as compared to aerobic respiration, as glucose is not completely broken down in the absence of oxygen. In animal cells anaerobic respiration often occurs during exercise. The glucose does not get fully broken down in this process, so it does not release its full potential energy. Instead of carbon dioxide and water it breaks down to form lactic acid and a small amount of energy.
