Answer:

C.

Homeostasis refers to the tendency for the human body to attempt to maintain a certain state even during changes in environment, activity, intake, etc. Options A, B, and D all refer to instances where the body departs from its usual state. While the scenario in Option C does describe a change in environment, it also describes the reaction of the body that brings its internal systems back to a certain state of fluid level.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Herbicides are a broad category of pesticides that are used to get rid of undesirable plants like weeds and grasses that hinder the development and productivity of desired agricultural crops. Both 2,4-D and 2,4,5T are also known as 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and

  • Herbicides like 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T are also referred to as auxin-type herbicides or plant growth regulators. Auxins are hormones that affect cell division and elongation in order to control cell growth.
  • Auxins are required by plant cells in the proper concentration for growth and development. If auxin levels are too low, plant growth is not promoted at all, and if levels are too high, plant growth is excessively stimulated.
  • Most grasses are not killed by 2,4-D and 2,4,5 T, but broadleaf weeds are. It moves to the plant's meristems after being absorbed through the leaves.
  • These herbicides affect the tissues' cells, causing them to continually divide and proliferate. The plant finally dies as a result of this unchecked, unsustainable growth, which also causes stem curling and withering of the leaves.

Thus, by promoting cell division, these compounds act as herbicides.

What is the weakest part of a developing, adolescent long bone?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The weakest part of a long developing and adolescent bone is called growth cartilage (epiphyseal plate)

Explanation:

Both children's bones and adults' bones are at risk of injury. However, in the case of bones in a child, they are subject to an injury known as a growth cartilage fracture or epiphyseal plate. These growth cartilages are areas that are in full development in the vicinity of long bones. Its function is to help establish the length and shape of the bone in the process of maturation. The growth of a long bone happens from the end next to the growth cartilage. In adulthood, these growth cartilages are strengthened forming the bone.
