Answer:
(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.
Explanation:
CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.
They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.
During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.
Answer:
Minimally processed
Explanation:
Foods are said to be minimally processed when they undergo a little treatment so as to preserve them. These treatments might involve the application of heat, drying, and refrigeration so as to preserve them before consumption. Most fresh-cut fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy products, etc., fall under this range.
These kind of foods still contain a good amount of their nutrients as their original content are not lost due to excessive processing.
The correct answer is microglia.
<span>Microglia is glial cells found in the central nervous system with the protective role. Because they are the resident macrophage cells, they act as the first and main form of active immune defense. Microglia is constantly cleaning the CNS for plaques, damaged or unnecessary neurons, and infectious agents, like viruses or other microorganisms.</span>
Answer:
C: autocrine
Explanation:
There are three types of hormones according to where their target cells are.
- Endocrine: Their target cells are distributed far and they travel via blood to reach the target cells.
- Paracrine: Their target cells are often their neighbors so they often diffuse to reach them
- Autocrine: Their secretion acts on themselves. Hence they are their own targets.
Hypersecretion of the population from the anterior pituitary gland causes the condition of galactorrhea.
Prolactin is another name is called luteotropin and its main function is to enable mammals mostly female to produce milk. The pituitary gland secretes it in response to mating, estrogen treatment, ovulation, nursing and eating.
The pituitary gland is attached to the hypothalamus by a short stalk. The pituitary gland has two major parts.
(i) An anterior lobe
(ii) Posterior lobe.
The pituitary gland is controlled by hormones and neurons that comes in the hypothalamus where it acts as a link between brain and endocrine system, and hypothalamus is the endocrine gland itself. Hypothalamus has neurons which regulate secretion of anterior lobe hormones by secreting inhibit and releasing hormones. Every hormone produced by anterior lobe has a releasing hormone.
Prolactin and growth hormones have inhibiting hormone. Releasing hormone helps in stimulating production and it releases hormones from the anterior lobe.
