The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary organs of the respiratory system are the lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe. The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.
The respiratory system works directly with the circulatory system to provide oxygen to the body. Oxygen taken in from the respiratory system moves into blood vessels that then circulate oxygen-rich blood to tissues and cells.
Answer:
This is the diffusion (loss of water vapor) from the stomata (most cases) of a plant to its external environment.
It involves movement of water vapor down the water potential gradients; that is ; from higher water potential inside the leaf to lower water potential in the surrounding environments.
its cools the plant’s internal temperature as water vapour conveys heat out of plants' cells.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Gymnosperms generally refer to a group of terrestrial, seed-producing vascular plants whose means of reproduction is an exposed ovule known as a cone.
There are 6 divisions within the gymnosperms, including cycads, ginkgos, and pinus (conifers). Gymnosperms are generally non-flowering and produce needle-like leaves. Their species are usually woody or perennial shrubs/herbs
This is <u>unlike the angiosperms</u> that are usually classified into 2, including the eudicots and the monocots. The division is based on the number of cotyledons or seed leaves carried by the plants in the group during germination.
<em>The correction option here would, therefore, be C. </em>
Answer:
Insulin is a protein hormone which binds to the membrane receptor where as steroid hormones bind to the intracellular receptors.
Explanation:
Hormones can be divided into two groups based on their binding with receptor. Some hormones are water soluble like protein or peptide hormone (example is insulin) and catecholamines. These water soluble hormones cannot cross the plasma membrane of the target cell and thus bind to the membrane receptor. Binding to the membrane receptor leads to activation of intracellular enzymes which bring the physiological change. Steroid hormones in the other case can cross the plasma membrane and then bind to the intracellular receptors. The hormone receptor complex then either binds or activates specific portion of DNA to bring the physiological change.
Insulin is made by beta cells islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It controls the levels of glucose. It is a small protein made of two polypeptides, one of 21 amino acids and the other of 30 amino acids. These two are called A chain and B chain and are linked together by disulphide bonds. The pro-hormone contains an extra stretch called C-peptide. During the maturation process the proinsulin looses the c-peptide to become mature insulin protein hormone. An american company called Eli Lilly, for the first time made recombinant human insulin.
