<u>Answer:</u>

Plastics are made of natural gas and oil.

They repel water.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Plastics usually man made i.e synthetic are basically long chain  of hydrocarbon chain of polymers  developed from petrochemicals. Since plastics are produced from polymers, polymers which are a chain of monomers are produced from crude oil, petroleum, natural gas or coal. Due to the absence of free  mobile  electrons , plastics are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Since Plastics are made up of  sticky materials like crude oil which act as poisons and repel water to get attached with plastic debris and are often harmful for the petroleum based objects in sea.

kolbaska11 [484]

Hypersecretion of the population from the anterior pituitary gland causes the condition of galactorrhea.

Prolactin is another name is called luteotropin and its main function is to enable mammals mostly female to produce milk. The pituitary gland secretes it in response to mating, estrogen treatment, ovulation, nursing and eating.

The pituitary gland is attached to the hypothalamus by a short stalk. The pituitary gland has two major parts.

(i)                  An anterior lobe

(ii)                Posterior lobe.

The pituitary gland is controlled by hormones and neurons that comes in the hypothalamus where it acts as a link between brain and endocrine system, and hypothalamus is the endocrine gland itself. Hypothalamus has neurons which regulate secretion of anterior lobe hormones by secreting inhibit and releasing  hormones. Every hormone produced by anterior lobe has a releasing hormone.

Prolactin and growth hormones have inhibiting hormone. Releasing hormone helps in stimulating production and it releases hormones from the anterior lobe.
