Which of the following is NOT a function of hormones?
sammy [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

I believe the correct answer is D. React to stimuli from outside the body.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hormones are types of proteins that produce responses hand in hand with neurons but they are much slower and longer lasting. They can act on the same cells and in that instance they will be called autocrine hormones. Those that act on neighbouring cells are called paracrine hormones while those that act on far away cells are called endocrine hormones.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>a. Initiate behavior and reproduction:</h3>

This is a function of hormone(s). Hormones such as testosterone can initiate both behavior of an organism and also stimulate reproduction. Testosterone causes maturation of sex features and sperms in males to initiate reproduction. Other hormones with such functions include: Estrogen and adrenaline.

<h3>b. Coordinate the production and use of energy:</h3>

Some hormones conduct this function by regulation metabolism in the body. These include: Insulin in intake of glucose for energy and glucagon in maintaining blood glucose levels. Corticosterone also responds in stress to maintain energy.

<h3>c. Maintain nutrition and metabolism:</h3>

Nutrition can be maintained by hormones such as ghrelin that stimulates appetite, insulin in intake of glucose, leptin and glucagon.

<h3>d. React to stimuli from outside the body</h3>

This is not a function of a hormone but rather the function of a neuron. Neurons have specific structures called denrites that recieve signals/stimuli from outside the body then convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain which produces another impulse to be taken to a specific site to produce a desired response.

How does the location of the carbon in the sugar molecule differ between the strands
scoundrel [369]
During a dehydration reaction, two monomer molecules are covalently bonded to each other, with the loss of a water molecule. In this reaction, each monomer contributes part of the water molecule that is released during the reaction. This reaction is repeated as monomers are added to the chain one by one, making a polymer.

Which of the following could be found on either public or private land?
Reptile [31]
<span>The option that could be found on either public or private land is C. mine. A state park can only be found on public land, because parks are owned by states, not regular people. A single-family residence is only found on private land, because that is a house that a family owns. A factory is on private land only, because it belongs to a person or another company. Which leaves us with mines, that can be found both on private and public lands.</span>
