olga_2 [115]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The endocrine system consists of Glands.

  • The glands that make up the endocrine system produce chemical messengers called hormones that travel through the blood to other parts of the body. Important endocrine glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, and adrenal glands.

  • The endocrine system is made up of the endocrine glands that secrete hormones. Although there are eight major endocrine glands scattered throughout the body, they are still considered to be one system because they have similar functions, similar mechanisms of influence, and many important interrelationships.

A graduated cylinder contains 10mL of water. A rock is dropped into the cylinder and the water level rises to 17mL. What is the
Travka [436]

Answer:

<h3>7 milliliters or 7 cubic centimeters</h3>

Explanation:

1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter

You can measure the volume of a rock using cubic centimeters because rocks do not have a defined shaped so you have to use water displacement to find the volume of a rock. If you had a defined shape there are different methods but for an undefined shape( rocks) you use this method.

To solve all you have to do is know how much there was in the container without the rock then how much there was with the rock. Then you take the total and subtract the original measurement you had.

17-10=7 mL or 7 cubic centimeters

Why is DNA’s shape considered a “double helix,” but RNA’s structure is not considered a double helix?
bija089 [108]
Because DNA is shaped in the form two helix combined thus creating a double helix. RNA is not shaped this way, instead it is shaped as a sort of twisted half ladder compared to DNA’s twisted full ladder shape

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the theory of evolution,species which are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce in a population passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.

During sexual reproduction, genes can be arranged in new ways from chromosomal crossing over and recombination. This introduces new gene combinations(genotype) and ultimately variation in the population.

This variation may also lead to the observation of new phenotypes in the population.

If the outside temperature decreases by 20 degrees Celsius, what will happen to a reptile’s body temperature?
oksian1 [2.3K]

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature.
