Excitation of HPA-Axis Stress Responses

Paraventricular nucleus corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons are activated by neural inputs from a number of possible sources (Figure 1). Stressors signaling homeostatic challenge (commonly referred to as systemic stressors) are mediated by neurocircuits providing direct excitation of paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons. For example, HPA-axis activation by blood loss (hemorrhage) is mediated by activation of brainstem norepinephrine neurons that project directly to the PVN. Activation of the HPA axis by fluid imbalance appears to be triggered by angiotensinergic neurons of the subfornical organ, which sense increases in circulating angiotensin II. Negative energy balance signals are relayed to the PVN by the arcuate nucleus, which activates CRH neurons by release of excitatory peptide messengers (such as neuropeptide Y and agouti-related peptide). Responses to systemic stress are thought to be reflexive, that is, they do not require the engagement of cognitive processes.

Why do plant cells have a cell wall and plant cells don’t?

Minchanka [31]

So animal cells can have various shapes, but plant cells only havethe shapes of their cell walls. That's nice for plants, because it gives them the ability to grow up and out, where they can get lots of sunlight for making their food.

In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants tohave rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change siz
Exactly why plant cell have wall and animal cell don't :-Cell walls are supporting structures that help the plant to have a fixed shape and protect it from injury. Other than that, it helps to keep the plant turgid so that it can stay firm and upright. Because when it enters a high water potential solution, as water moves in, the water exerts turgor pressure on the cell wall and the cell wall thus exerts an opposing pressure to keep water out. Hence cell wall is needed for the plant.

On the other hand, animal cells do not need to keep the structures, as they have the skeletal system to protect the organs and cushion them against any external Injuries.

This was the all information I had thank you.

Darwin observed that organisms that were best able to survive and reproduce had adaptations that were...

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

A: Suited for their environment

Explanation:

You can automatically eliminate B and C, since they both say that animals with adaptations that won't work with their environment would have a higher survival rate. This doesn't make sense; adaptations that wouldn't suit an environment would actually lower the population's chances of reproduction and survival.
That leads us to A and D. However, A would be the correct answer. Organisms with adaptations that suited their environment would help them (since it would make the organism more compatible with their environment), rather than having no change at all.

Hope this helped!
