Complete Question:
Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Which of the following is most likely an immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion?
(A) Increased activation of the immune system
(B) Increased urine production by the kidneys
(C) Increased bone and collagen formation
(D) Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells
Answer: Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells.
Explanation: Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion is the increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells (Adipose tissue).
Starvation occurs when an animal doesn't feed due to unavailability of food. The body system makes use of stored glycogen which is synthesized to glucose by hormonal secretion of glucagon by the pancreas.
However, when the glucose converted is finished. Cortisol is secreted, which then initiate the mobilization of fatty acids as source of energy from the adipose tissues (fat cells) in the body system.
Answer:
Virchow was a German scientist whose most important work was in the filed of cellular biology and pathology.His scientific experiments and examinations aimed to disprove the idea of spontaneous generation. This idea is based on an assumption that life can spontaneously appear out of non-living matter. After years of scientific work he concluded that only living cells can produce other cells, or that only life can produce life.Therefore, if it was somehow proven that cells can be generated from non-living matter, that would disprove his findings.

Answer:
Explanation:
Metamorphic rocks are those which have been changed from one form to another by the high pressure and temperature environment of the Earth. "Metamorphism" means the process of changing form.
Phyllite is a type of foliated metamorphic rock.
Slate is a, fine-grained, clayey metamorphic rock.
Shale is a parent rock to slate and phyllite.

Answer:
A
Explanation:
A. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6. - this is true. The optimum pH of the enzyme is where its activity is the highest. On the graph, this is pH 6.6 (activity at 100)
B. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 5.8. - this is false, the activity of the enzyme peaks at 6.6 (100), at 5.8 the activity is 80
C. The enzyme's activity is greater around pH 8.0 than around pH 5.0 - This is false, the activity at pH 5 is 50, whereas at around 8 it is 20.
D
. The enzyme's activity continually increases as pH increases from 5.0 to 9.0 - this is false. The activity drops between pH 6.6 and pH 9.
