Answer:

C. It mobilizes nutrients to be used for energy.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus ,pituitary and the adrenal glands are responsible fot controlling hormone secretion in the body.

Cortisol is one of the hormones that is released in the body. It is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands at the Zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland cortex.

Its functions include help in regulating blood sugar levels and regulate metabolism among others.

For instance, during the stress response or danger. It increases the body's metabolism of glucose to produce energy.

If carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis and water is plentiful, which of the following is likely to occur?
mylen [45]

The right answer is D

The stomata are at the level of the epidermis of the leaves and aerial stems, the place of passage of the gases (carbon dioxide, oxygen, water vapor) which play a fundamental role in the physiology of the plant. These structures (which can be considered as "mini-organs") interactively regulate these exchanges. They are the terrestrial plants that constitute the true interface between the external atmosphere and the internal gas network.

in question number 6, the correct answer is false. this is because arrow  C is representing a combustion reaction whereby hydrocarbon or organic carbon from the fossil fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. this process is not conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy. in this process energy will still be stored in form of chemical energy in the bonds of carbon dioxide and water produce


in the question number 7 the correct answer is true.  this is because the green plant is using energy from the such for the process of photosynthesis. photosynthesis is a process by which green plants make their own food using energy from the light. light energy is used to split the molecules of water to oxygen and hydrogen ions. oxygen is released into the atmosphere whereas hydrogen ions are used in the dark stage of photosynthesis a process referred to as carbon fixation. the end result of carbon fixation is production of organic compounds such as glucose, protein and lipids among others. these foods store energy in form of chemical energy. so arrow A represents transfer of solar energy to chemical energy


in the question number 8, the arrows that represent the release of carbon dioxide include arrow C and arrow F. in arrow C the process occurring is referred to as combustion and it occurs when hydrocarbon in fossil fuels reaction with oxygen in the presence of heat to produce carbon dioxide and water. the arrow F represents respiration, a process by which living cells manufacture energy in form of ATP from organic food such as glucose. respiration end products include water carbon dioxide and ATP. it is essentially the reverse of photosynthesis


in question number 9, arrow E represents cycling of carbon from living organisms to non-living organisms. this is because it is showing conversion of a carbon from the dead tree to fossil fuel. when plants and animals die and buried deep in the ground, they are slowly converted to fossil fuels which contain organic hydrocarbon compounds including petrol, kerosene and other compounds.


in question number 10, arrow B & C show the conservation of energy and mass. when living organisms die they are converted to fossil fuels which are used in industries to produce energy required for various activities. during this process carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and it is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis as shown by B. this is conservation of energy and mass the number of carbon in the fossils fuel initially came from living plants and when fossil fuel is combusted it produces carbon dioxide that will be used in the process of photosynthesis and cycle continues.

The asphalt in the La Brea Tar Pits is composed of hydrocarbons, but is not considered a fossil fuel.
nadezda [96]
<span>False
 Asphalt is still considered a fossil fuel, as anything that is a made up of hydrocarbons that is created from ancient biological origin is defined as such. They are not used for any sort of resource extraction due to their preserved status for study, but would still classify under the definition.</span>
