The backlit screens of computers emit enough light to suppress the hormone melatonin. This hormone rises in the evening and orchestrates daily rhythms.

<h3>What is melatonin?</h3>

Melatonin is a hormone whose secretion in the brain is connected to sleep (i.e. the time of day or circadian cycle).

Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland as an environmental response to darkness.

This hormone (melatonin) is well known to be involved in different sleep disorders, thereby having therapeutic applications.

Deamination occurs mostly in the brain. T/F
ki77a [65]

The answer is false.

Deamination is the process (reaction) in which an amine group is removed from a molecule of amino acid. The enzymes that are involved in this reaction are called deaminases. Deamination can be used for energy(break down of amino acids), when there is too much protein intake. Amine group is converted to ammonia that is then converted to urea or uric acid in the urea cycle and at the end excreted through the urine.

In the human body, deamination occurs mostly in the liver (e.g. urea cycle), but also in the kidneys (deamination of glutamate).

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Tortoises with better adaptations in shell shape and leg length were selected to exploit the food resources on each island and, thus, they were capable of having more offspring.

Explanation:

Natural selection can be defined as the process of differential survival and reproduction in a given environment due to differences in their phenotypic traits. Thus, these phenotypic traits are selected to be better adapted to their environment. As a consequence of natural selection, organisms evolve by changing their phenotype frequencies over many generations. In this case, phenotypic differences are expressed as variations in shell shape and leg length, which are adaptive traits that were selected on each island.
