The brown adipose tissue is located in fatty interscapular, supraclavicular, pericardial, para-aortic deposits, around the pancreas, kidneys and trachea, mainly.
Its main function is to regulate thermogenesis (heat production) and this is due to the fact that the highest percentage of brown tissue can be found in the thorax and abdomen. The mechanism by which it produces heat is because it dissipates the energy thus producing heat.
The adipose tissue, on the one hand, fulfills mechanical functions: one of them is to serve as a buffer, protecting and keeping in place the internal organs as well as other more external structures of the body, and also has metabolic or energy reserve functions since it is responsible for generating fats for the body. In addition we must also name the functions of thermal insulation (to maintain the proper body temperature of each individual)
The brown adipose tissue occupies a percentage in newborns since they need to fight the external temperature. In them it constitutes 2-5% of the body weight and is found between the scapulae, in the armpits, in the neck area and along the blood vessels. This percentage decreases as we grow.
The brown adipose is also an endocrine organ that secretes signaling factors that activate the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.
Answer:
TTYy x TTYy and TtYy x TtYy
Explanation:
Cross between two the two plants yielded yellow and green plant in the ratio 296:104.
296:104 is approximately equal to 3:1.
According to Mendelian law, 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive phenotype results from a cross involving two heterozygous individual.
Taking the seed colour into consideration, a cross between two heterozygous individual will be:
Yy x Yy = YY, 2Yy and yy
Ration of yellow to green = 3:1
<em>Hence, </em><em>option b</em><em> and </em><em>option d</em><em> are most likely to be the genotypes of the parent because both shows the genotype of seed colour in heterozygous conditions. </em>
The answer is stem. i just had this question on odyssey.
Answer:
The correct answer is - facilitated diffusion.
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion is a form of facilitated transport of molecules such as amino acid, glucose, and others through the plasma membrane involving the passive or indirect movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, which is led by the presence of another molecule normally a pore or channel made up of integral protein.
Facilitated diffusion depends on several factors such as the size of molecules, type of molecules, similarity of molecules to extracellular matrix or fluid that slow or fast the diffusion process.
Thus, the correct answer is - facilitated diffusion.
