Answer:

The <u>pituitary</u> gland controls water balance, growth and blood pressure.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is also called hypophysis, and is a small gland located in the skull that is responsible for secreting hormones and coordinating the activity of other glands.

Hypophysis is usually divided into two portions, adenohypophysis or anterior lobe and neurohypophysis in posterior lobe.  Among other functions, the pituitary gland is in charge of

  1. Water balance and blood pressure, through the antidiuretic hormone or ADH secreted by the neuro-pituitary.
  2. Growth, through the secretion of growth hormone or GH, secreted by the somatotropic cells of the adenohypophysis.

This gland is also responsible for the secretion of oxytocin and other hormones in charge of regulating endocrine glandular activity.

Regarding the other options:

  • <u><em>Thymus</em></u><em> is a gland present in children and related to immune function. </em>
  • <u><em>Thyroid</em></u><em> is responsible for secreting hormones that control basal metabolism. </em>
  • <u><em>Pancreas</em></u><em> has exocrine and endocrine function, producing digestive enzymes and insulin and glucagon, respectively. </em>

the allele for white fur is revessive and the allele for normal fur is dominant the frequency for the normal fur allele is 0.60.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

36% of wolves have normal fur.

Explanation:

Given , the allele for white fur is recessive and the allele for normal fur is dominant

Let "N" represents the allele for normal fur and "n" represents the fur for white fur.

As per Hardy Weinberg's principle, the frequency for dominant allele is represented by "p"

Given ,

p = 0.60\\

Then frequency for dominant genotype will be "p^2"

So, Frequency for wolves with normal fur is

p^{2} \\0.60^2\\0.36

Percentage of the wolves with normal fur is

0.36*100\\= 36%

If green plant cells are incubated in the presence of CO2 molecules containing radioactive carbon atoms, the fate of the carbon
stellarik [79]

Answer:

  1. Glycine
  2. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
  3. 3-phosphoglycerate
  4. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
  5. Glucose
  6. Sucrose

Explanation:

The glycine, among other amino acids, helps to improve chlorophyll production and promotes the process of photosynthesis.  

<u>Calvin cycle</u>

During the carbon fixation phase, a CO² molecule combinate with a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 6-carbonated molecules, which will divide into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules.  

During the reduction phase, NADPH donates its electrons to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate molecules, and turn them into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

During the regeneration phase, a glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule leaves the cycle and goes to the cytosol to form glucose. This step can be done when three CO² enter the cycle and produce six glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules. One of them leaves the cycle to form glucose, while the other five are recycled.

<u>Cytosol: </u>

Once in the cytosol, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules are used to form glucose and fructose. These two molecules are the monosaccharides that form the sucrose.

Once sucrose is formed, it is transported from the photosynthetic tissues to different parts of the plant by the phloem.

If you wanted to see a cell wall, where could you look?.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A cell wall is a structural layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.

Explanation:

A cell wall is a rigid, semi-permeable protective layer in some cell types. This outer covering is positioned next to the cell membrane (plasma membrane) in most plant cells, fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea.
