Answer: The given is False.

Internal sleep and wake cycles are controlled by circadian biological clock of the body. It is located in the brain. The biological clock produces circadian rhythms in the body which are mental, physical, and behavioral responses of body which follow an everyday cycle.

A tiny region ( Suprachiasmatic nucleus, SCN ) in hypothalamus of the brain controls the circadian rhythms. It does this by generating neuronal and hormonal activities.

Thus, the statement that adrenal glands control internal sleep and waking cycles is False.

<u>Option-(A): </u>In an illustrated flowchart, the movement of carbon atoms through an aquatic food chain is indicated by arrows.
<u>Option-(C)-</u> An increase in the population of scavengers.

Explanation:

The ecological pyramid is comprised of different level of organisms as the energy flow occur through them in a more directed form inside the different spheres depending upon the medium for energy transmission across the given parameters or area. As, the arrow provides us with a more directed way for understanding the transmission of energy through different organisms and there respective levels inside the ecological pyramid.

While, the increase in the level of scavengers or the animals which consumes the left overs of other living beings is balanced with the addition of the secondary consumers to the aquatic ecosystem.As, it will provide equal chances and energy to the different beings inside the ecosystem.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{Protein}$

Explanation:

Ribosomes are specialized to carry protein synthesis [Manufacture of protein]. Since, Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum which means that the function of RER is also protein synthesis. If a cell has a very large amount of ribosomes attached to its rough endoplasmic reticulum, Then the cell will probably carry out the manufacture of protein.

Hope this helped!
