Answer:

Planet B is expected to be cooler than Planet A.

Explanation:

In the given case, planet A is closer to the star than planet B. Their atmospheric conditions and mass is same so their surface temperature will depend on their distance from the star. Since planet A is closer, it will receive more radiation from the star. In turn it will be hotter to re-radiate that energy back to space. Hence, average surface temperature of planet B will be lower than planet A.

3241004551 [841]


The best answer is D.

Hormones are chemical messengers  secreted mostly into blood and also extracellular fluid by specialized tissue of the endocrine system and affect the functioning of other tissues or cells.

Most hormones circulate in blood and come in contact with essentially all cells, but a particular hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, which are termed as target cells to that hormone.

A target cell responds to a particular  hormone because it bears receptors for that hormone.

For example the red blood cells have receptors for the  hormone called insulin which is produced by the pancreas. The red cells are able to take in glucose  when their receptors bind to insulin.

Prochlorobacteria are primitive, photosynthetic bacteria that are used in the manufacture of dairy products.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(b) - False

Explanation:

Prochlorophyte bacteria are photosynthesizers and have the same chlorophyll found in algae and vegetables, studies claim that these bacteria are the most abundant beings on the planet, accounting for half of all photosynthesis performed in the oceans.

Prochlorophyte bacteria can be divided into <em>Prochloron</em>, <em>Prochlotrix</em> and <em>Prochlorococcus</em> genera.

However, <u>prochlorobacteria</u> are not responsible for the production of dairy products, in which the most associated bacterial genera are <em>Lactobacillus</em> and <em>Streptococcus</em>. This last statement implies that alternative b is the correct one.
