Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.
Answer:
The jelly is able to hold the weight of gravity
Explanation:
Answer:
The diameter of the xylem vessels should be small in order for the capillary action to take place.
Explanation:
The vessels through which water is transported to different parts of the plants and trees are the xylem. Water is transported in the trees through a mechanism named as capillary action. This mechanism can occur only if the diameter of the vessels are small.
The water molecules adhere to the walls of xylem and an upward force is generated. If the diameter of the vessels i.e xylem would be small then the surface tension between the xylem and water molecules would be enough to move the water in an upward direction.
Answer:
Underwater plants will receive less light.
Explanation:
When sea level rises the amount of solar energy in the aquatic environment is decreased and this makes underwater plants receive less light and their development is impaired. This is because, with less sunlight, aquatic plants are unable to photosynthesize and absorb the carbon needed for their metabolism, thus end up dying and diminishing the plant diversity of the sub-aquatic environment.
In addition, many underwater organisms (such as some fish) feed exclusively on these plants. If these plants fail to grow, these fish will be without food and will eventually die; This will also cause problems for the diversity of the underwater environment.
