The correct answer is; b. False

A hormone is not an organ. Hormones are chemical substances that are produced in the endocrine glands in the body. Hormones act as special messengers by controlling almost all bodily functions such as hunger, reproduction, emotions and mood. Examples of hormones and their major function are insulin (metabolic hormone), estrogen (sex hormone), adrenalin (stress hormone), ghrelin (hunger hormone), leptin (satiety hormone), melatonin (sleep hormone), testosterone (sex hormone) and thyroid (growth hormone).

Apply the principles of diffusion to explain what will occur after placing a dyed sugar cube in a beaker of water
snow_lady [41]

The molecules in the sugar move from an area of higher concentration (sugar cube) to an area of lower concentration in the water.

That is exactly what diffusion is: the net movement of molecules or atoms driven by a gradient , which means that it doesn’t requires energy.

The majority of cells in a human body go through mitosis and not meiosis. Is this true or false?
Andru [333]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Mitosis results in two cells that are genetically identical. DNA replication only occurs during "S phase." Meiosis is commonly defined as a type of cell division that divides a somatic cell and produces four gamete cells when doing so.

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>S phase:</em></u> In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during M phase.

<u><em>Gametes</em></u> are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome.
