What statement about the mechanism of hunger and satiety is true?

Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.​

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.

The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.

Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).

Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.

Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.

seeds that are planted upside down are still able to grow into mature plants which explanation best explains this phenomenon?​
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

eeds that are planted upside down are still able to grow into mature plants. Which explanation best explains this phenomenon?

(a)The roots change into branches, and the branches turn into roots.

(b)The roots grow toward the force of gravity, and the shoots grow away.

(c)The plant will become a smaller version of a mature plant.

(d)Roots always grow toward the dark, and shoots grow toward the light.

Two options appear to be correct here: options B and D

Explanation:

Regardless of the direction the seed is planted, the seed has the ability to re-position itself via the help of growth hormones that respond to gravity and redirect the seed into the proper orientation. However, after re-orientation of the seed, the root grows toward the direction of gravity (a process known as gravitropism) while the shoot grows toward the direction of sunlight (a process known as phototropism). Even though two options appear to be correct here, the most correct option based on he question is b
