Answer:

D) The gland produces and secretes its product into the blood.

Explanation:

Endocrine glands are the ductless glands. They do not have ducts to deliver their secretions to the target cells but directly release them into the blood. The secretions of endocrine glands are called hormones. To be an endocrine gland, the mentioned long oval structure should lack ducts and release its hormone/s directly into the blood. For example, the thyroid gland is an endocrine gland and releases its hormone thyroxine directly into the blood to be carried to the target body cells.

Is the cell an open or closed system? Explain your answer using at least one example of a cell organelle and its function.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

In an open system matter and energy can be transferred ·

In a closed system only energy can be exchanged ·        

In an isolated system neither matter nor energy can be exchanged ·         The cell has to be an open system because it needs to exchange matter and energy and the only way to do so is through an open system ·        

As an open system the cell allows nutrients to enter the cell and waste products to exit the cell ·      

The cell does this through the use of a semi-permeable membrane
