Answer:

1. hormones

2. endocrine glands

3. pituitary

4. adrenal glands

5. fewer amounts of the hormone

6. parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH)

7. the thyroid and parathyroid glands  

8. Steroid hormones are produced from cholesterol, while nonsteroid hormones are produced from amino acids.

Explanation:

Hormones are signaling molecules secreted by the body to control cellular activities The endocrine glands are glands that don't have ducts to carry their secreted products (hormones) to the surface. Endocrine glands include the hypothalamus, ovaries, testes, pancreas, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thymus and thyroid glands. The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland that secretes many hormones into the bloodstream, which are capable of controlling the functioning of other organs and glands. During the puberty stage, this gland secretes LH and FSH gonadotropin hormones that affect male and female gonads in order to activate the production of sex hormones. The adrenal glands secrete cortisol, which is known as the stress hormone. These glands also produce adrenaline which regulates visceral functions such as, for example, respiration. The parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) is generated by epithelial cells and plays important roles in fetal and adult tissues, (i.e., cell proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis). The thyroid gland regulates body temperature, while parathyroid glands control the calcium level in the blood by secreting the parathyroid hormone (PTH). Steroid hormones are lipidic hormones known to bind steroid receptors and they can easily cross the cell membrane, while non-steroid hormones cannot diffuse across the cell membranes and they are secreted by the endocrine system.

Why are stem cells harvested from early embryos useful in medicine?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: Cell therapies would use stem cells, or cells grown from stem cells, to replace or rejuvenate damaged tissue. Scientists also want to use stem cells to understand disease and find drugs that might treat it. Embryonic stem cells could be used to make more specialized tissues that have been lost to disease and injury.

Hope this helps.. Stay safe and have a great day/night!!! :D

Biological diversity, or biodiversity, has become a topic of great concern among conservationists. Biodiversity is often used by
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Large number of species and abundant resources.

Explanation:

Large number of species and abundant resources are the two characteristics shared by ecosystems that have high biodiversity. Habitat loss and pollution are the two specific human activities that result in a loss of biodiversity. Habitat loss occur when the human removed all the trees and vegetation in order to made the land for cultivation of crops or building houses. Pollution is the main cause that leads to loss of biodiversity. Human activities release gases which pollute the environment and leads to loss of biodiversity. Avoid activities that causes pollution and used of barren lands for cultivation and infrastructure. Climate change is naturally occurring factor that could lead to a loss of biodiversity. Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity and natural sustainability.

Neko [114]

Answer:

in my oppinion its call a  

source of pergisol

Explanation:

What if climate change is self-sustaining? This is already the case, for example, with melting arctic sea ice. This reflects solar radiation, which allows the ocean, located under the ice, to stay cold. But when sea ice melts, the ocean absorbs heat from the sun, which melts more ice. In general, it is difficult to predict the tipping point where such a feedback loop will engage.

Spread over more than 23,000,000 km2, at the top of the globe, permafrost (permanently frozen ground) could enter such a vicious circle. Normally, up to 4 m of soil and plant debris cover the permafrost. This top layer (called the active layer) normally melts every summer, and freezes in winter. It thus protects the permafrost from the rise in heat outside. But in the spring of 2018, a team working at a research station in Tchersky, Russia, discovered that near-surface land had not frozen over at all during the long, dark polar night.
