The water, warmed by the sun, turns into vapor (evaporates), and passes out through thousands of tiny pores (stomata) mostly on the underside of the leaf surface. This is transpiration. It has two main functions: cooling the plant and pumping water and minerals to the leaves for photosynthesis.
Answer:
C. is unstable, with a short half life
Explanation:
Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.
Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.
Given: The systolic arterial blood pressure observed for 20 dogs is normally distributed with a mean of 152 mm of mercury (Hg) and a standard deviation of 18 mm of Hg.
To find: P(100 < 152)
Method: Calculation of Z-Score followed by the probability or area of the bell curve at X = 100.
Solution:
Mean u = 152, std s = 18
Z score = 
The value of P(100<152) is calculated by looking at the value of Z in the Z score for the standard normal distribution given in the image.
P(Z=-2.89) = 0.0019
The P(Z = -2.89) corresponds to the area in the left tail of the bell curve.
Thus the probability of 100 mm Hg blood pressure is 0.0019.
The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces,
Observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable.
