The pineal gland releases the melatonin into the blood which describes an endocrine function rather than an exocrine function.

Option C

Explanation:

The endocrine gland releases hormones directly into blood which travels through it to reach the target organ. Whereas, the exocrine glands releases their hormones directly into the duct from which they were released to the target area except pineal gland all other gland in the options are the example of exocrine glands.

That would be C.

Endocrine secretion is when a molecule(usually a hormone) is secreted into the blood. Endo as “in” the blood. Exo as “out” of the blood. You can think of it that way if it helps:)

A) Compare and contrast diffusion, passive transport (diffusion & facilitated), primary active transport and secondary activ

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Passive transport: It does not need any energy to occur. Happens in favor of an electrochemical gradient. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are kinds of passive transport.

Simple diffusion: molecules freely moves through the membrane.

Facilitated diffusion: molecules are carried through the membrane by channel proteins or carrier proteins.

Active transport needs energy, which can be taken from the ATP molecule (Primary active transport) or from a membrane electrical potential (Secondary active transport).

Explanation:

Diffusion: This is a pathway for some small polar hydrophilic molecules that can freely move through the membrane. Membrane´s permeability depends on the size of the molecule, the bigger the molecule is, the less capacity to cross the membrane it has. Diffusion is a very slow process and to be efficient requires short distances and pronounced concentration gradients. An example of diffusion is osmosis where water is the transported molecule.

Facilitated diffusion: Refers to the transport of hydrophilic molecules that are not able to freely cross the membrane. Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this passive transport. If uncharged molecules need to be carried this process depends on concentration gradients and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an electrochemical gradient. The glucose is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion.

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are passive transport processes because the cell does not need any energy to make it happen.

Active transport occurs against the electrochemical gradient, so it does need energy to happen. Molecules go from a high concentration side to a lower concentration side. This process is always in charge of carrier proteins. In primary active transport the energy needed comes from the ATP molecule. An example of primary active transport is the Na-K bomb. In secondary active transport, the energy comes from the membrane electric potential. Examples of secondary active transport are the carriage of Na, K, Mg metallic ions.

How can antibiotic resistance be minimized?

Anastaziya [24]

Explanation:

There are many ways that drug-resistant infections can be prevented: immunization, safe food preparation, handwashing, and using antibiotics as directed and only when necessary. In addition, preventing infections also prevents the spread of resistant bacteria.
