Complete Question:
Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Which of the following is most likely an immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion?
(A) Increased activation of the immune system
(B) Increased urine production by the kidneys
(C) Increased bone and collagen formation
(D) Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells
Answer: Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells.
Explanation: Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion is the increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells (Adipose tissue).
Starvation occurs when an animal doesn't feed due to unavailability of food. The body system makes use of stored glycogen which is synthesized to glucose by hormonal secretion of glucagon by the pancreas.
However, when the glucose converted is finished. Cortisol is secreted, which then initiate the mobilization of fatty acids as source of energy from the adipose tissues (fat cells) in the body system.

Answer:
root hairs → 1. absorbs water and nutrients from the soil
vascular tissue → 2. consists of xylem and phloem
chloroplast → 3. the site of photosynthesis inside the cell
stem → 4. holds the leaves up high into the sunlight
leaf → 5. acts like an umbrella to absorb light
terminal bud → 6. the growing part of the stem
taproot → 7. roots that reach deep into the ground
Explanation:
I have been able to match each term to its correct description.
From the above, we will discover that these are parts of a plant. These parts of the plant enable the plant to carry out photosynthesis and to exist.
The root hairs of the plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. When such are absorbed, the vascular tissues help to transport them.
The vascular tissue consists of the xylem and phloem. They transport fluid and nutrients inside the plant. The vascular tissue is associated with two meristems which are the vascular cambium and the cork cambium. It is at the chloroplast that photosynthesis occur; where light energy is converted to chemical energy.
The stem holds the leaves firmly in order to project it to the sunlight. The leaf absorb sunlight which is needed for photosynthesis. The terminal bud is actually the part of the stem that is growing out. Taproot reach deep down the ground in search of water for the plant.
Answer:
•The gene responsible for the albinism is sex-linked
•The gene responsible for the albinism is recessive
• The pedigree is contained in the attached file
Explanation:
The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is said to be sex-linked because all those that were mentioned with the expression of albinism were females
The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is also said to be recessive because it was found to be rarely expressed and this goes in line with the definition of a recessive gene, which says; a recessive gene is the gene that remains unexpressed ( phenotypically) in the presence of it counterpart ( the dominant gene) in an allelic pair.
Explanation:
The lipstick from the crime would be crushed and dissolved in an appropriate liquid solvent. The lipstick would then be placed in one of the ink spots on the starting / base line of the paper. Another spot would be created for the lipstick with which it is being compared with.
The paper chromatogram would then be placed vertically on a solvent that acts as the mobile phase. After some time, when the solvent reaches the solvent front of the paper chromatography, by capillary action, the chromatogram can be removed and left to dry.
Bands will have appeared on the chromatography paper formed from the different components of the lipstick. The bands of the lipstick from the crime scene and that with which it is being compared to are observed. If the bands are all aligned, horizontally, then this means it is a complete match. The lipstick must have been the same used at the crime scene.
