irina [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Thigmotropism is defined as a negative or positive directional response in a plant or part of a plant such as a plant organ, that is caused by an external stimulus such as touch or contact with any solid object. The factor that causes the stimulus is a hard surface that can change the direction of growth of the plant or part of the plant.  Hope this helps :)

Oliga [24]

Answer:

An autoimmune problem involving the thyroid gland: C. Graves' disease

Hyposecretion of growth hormone: Pituitary dwarfism

Hyposecretion of the pancreas: E. Diabetes mellitus

Hyposecretion of the adrenal cortex: B. Addison's disease

Hypersecretion of growth hormone: A. Acromegaly

Explanation:

Growth hormone is the hormone from the anterior pituitary gland that targets the tissues such as muscles, bones, cartilage, liver, etc. and stimulates the somatic growth of the body. Its hypersecretion leads to acromegaly in adults while its hyposecretion causes dwarfism in children characterized by stunted growth. There is abnormal thickening of specific bones in acromegaly.  

Pancreatic hormone insulin serves to lower down the blood glucose levels. Insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus characterized by higher blood glucose levels in the affected person.  

Hyposecretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid from adrenal cortex causes Addison's disease characterized by rapid weight loss, lower levels of glucose and sodium in plasma while a rise in potassium levels.  

Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease wherein the thyroid gland is stimulated for increased secretion of thyroxine resulting in protruded eyeballs.

How does the photosynthetic reaction center differ from the chorophyll molecules in the antenna complex?
o-na [289]

Answer:

Photosynthetic reaction center differ from the chlorophyll molecules in the antenna complex by the presence  and absence of core pigment and accessory pigment.

Explanation:

Photosynthetic reaction center contain core pigment known as chlorophyll  A which can aborb wavelength of sunlight not more than 700 nm in case of Photosystem 1 and the core chlorophyll pigment of Photosystem 2 absorb light having wavelength of 680nm or less than that.

                           Antenna complex or light harvesting complex  such as chlorophyll b ,Carotenoid,Xanthophyll absorb light energy from sunlight and transfer that light energy to photosynthetic reaction center by resonance energy transfer so that the photosynthetic reaction center uses the same(light energy) in form of chemical energy to out the further reactions of photosynthesis.
