Answer:

Similarities: both are chemical messengers, both can have (but don't necessarily have) similar structures (made from amino acids), both can be produced by the central nervous system (hypothalamus produces some hormones), certain molecules can act as both hormones and neurotransmitters (example: norepinephrine).

Differences: neurotransmitters are released by neurons across a synaptic gap, have very short distances to travel, and act very quickly on the neighboring cell. Hormones are released by glands and often have to travel longer distances, which means that they are slower-acting. Also, hormones are typically used for regulation (negative feedback) while neurotransmitters are used for stimulation of a neighboring cell.

Choose all that apply.
Elodia [21]

The correct answers are options:

1. Amphibians evolved before land reptiles.

4. Elephants appear in the fossil record after dinosaurs became extinct.

The relative dating is a technique of dating with respect to any past event. In this case, two events are discussed to be occurred in a sequence related to one-another. In the option 1, the amphibians are said to be evolved before reptiles. So, the evolution of the amphibians is relatively dated with the evolution of reptiles. Same in the option 4, the evolution of the elephants is relatively dated with the extinction of the dinosaurs.
