Answer:

Weight gain and depression are symptoms caused by imbalance of pituitary and adrenal glands and the cortisol hormone.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is responsible for the overall functioning of the body since it produces a variety of hormones. It is very small in size and is also known as the 'master gland'. It is made of two parts- <u>anterior pituitary gland and posterior pituitary gland</u>. The pituitary gland and its functions are controlled by the hypothalamus.

The anterior pituitary secretes hormones which act on adrenal glands, thyroid, testes and ovaries. The hormones produced are <em>TSH, Prolactin, Luitenizing Hormone, Cortisol, Testosterone</em>, etc.

Cortisol is produced by the <u>adrenal gland</u> under the command of <em>pituitary gland</em>. Cortisol helps in <em>regulating blood sugar, blood pressure</em> and helps in reducing inflammation. Any imbalance of adrenal gland will cause an increase or decrease in the production of cortisol. The symptoms produced on the imbalance are:

  • Obesity in upper body
  • High blood pressure
  • Mood swings, depression and irritability
  • Acne and other skin problems.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The answer is B. Some organic molecules, including amino acids, could have been produced from chemical reactions on early Earth.

Explanation:

Miller-Urey Experiment:

The Miller-Urey experiment was an attempt to explain the origin of life on Earth. Miller-Urey simulated the primordial soup i.e. the environment of primitive Earth to prove the spontaneous generation of organic molecules. The conditions they introduced included:

  1. A methane-ammonia-hydrogen and water mixture that exactly simulated the primordial soup.
  2. A spark of 70,000 volts that simulated lightening.
  3. A temperature of 800 degree Celsius.

Observations:

  • After running for 18 days, the final solution was examined for presence of organic molecules.
  • Miller-Urey observed that most of the methane and ammonia had been consumed and the mixture contained carbon monoxide and nitrogen.
  • The solution further contained 25 amino acids (mainly, glycine, alanine and aspartic acid) , several fatty acids , hydroxy acids  and amide products.

The experiment concluded that simple organic compounds such as amino acids could have been formed through spontaneous generation under the Earth's primitive environmental conditions.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.

Explanation:

Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.

Explanation:

Generally, sphincter are circular or ring - shaped muscles, surrounding the natural opening in the body. They control the movement of substances by opening and closing through expansion and contraction.

There are many sphincter in the body, examples are

* Cardiac sphincter...found at the upper area or portion of the stomach.

* Pupilary sphincter..found in the iris of the eye.

* Glisson's sphincter...controlling the secretion of the gall bladder,pancrease and the liver.
