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.

Each lung is fed oxygen by a separate bronchus. Please select the best answer from the choices provided. T F
marysya [2.9K]
Yes it is absolutely true that each lung is fed oxygen by a separate bronchus. There are actually two lungs and two bronchi. Each of the two lungs are safeguarded by the two ribcages as they are placed within the rib cages. The lungs actually consists of elastic sacs that contract and expand for taking in and releasing air. This way oxygen is passed into the blood and carbon dioxide is taken out from the blood and passed out. This is also the main function of the lungs.

mihalych1998 [28]
Your answer is burning gasoline. if you think about it, none of the rest of the answers really involve chemicals. ice isnt known as a chemical, and so isnt glass. and if your dent a bumper, it doesnt make sense to add it as a chemical change. so your answer is burning gasoline. hope this helps.
