Answer:

Option A, Hormones are controlled by a feedback loop; information about a system is sent back to the controller of the system to improve its function.

Explanation:

Negative feedback loop controls the hormone production and release. This is done by eliciting the release of substances till a certain level after which the stop signal is activated thereby preventing further release. By this method, concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within the narrow range.

For example – Thyroid hormones is released when the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid. This continues till the hormones in the blood reach the threshold level. Once the threshold level is reached, hypothalamus receives a feedback and then signals anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid

Hence, option A is correct

A thrombus (blood clot) in the first branch of the arch of the aorta would affect the flow of blood to the ________. A. left sid

seropon [69]

Answer:

C. right side of the head and neck and right upper arm

Explanation:

The arch of aorta is a continuation of ascending aorta and terminates at the intervertebral disc of fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae. The superior part of the arch of aorta branches off into three major arteries. The first branch of arch of aorta is the largest branch and is known as the brachiocephalic trunk.

The brachiocephalic trunk divides and forms the subclavian artery and right common carotid artery. Right common carotid artery supplied blood to the right side of the head and neck while the right subclavian artery delivers blood to the right upper limb.

Hence, any blood clot in the first branch of arch of aorta, that is the brachiocephalic trunk would affect the blood supply to the right side of the head and neck and right upper arm.

Carbohydrates are the main sources of energy for most organisms. However, some carbohydrates can also be used as structural mate

Tema [17]

C:<span>Cellulose is the primary structural carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. Only a few animals have a limited ability to digest cellulose. However, </span>the fiber in the structural carbohydrates stimulates the animals' digestive systems<span>, so stools stay softer and move more quickly through the intestinal tract. This helps to prevent constipation and encourages regular defecation.</span>

How is a warm front different from a cold front?

Anarel [89]

Warm fronts often bring stormy weather as the warm air mass at the surface rises above the cool air mass, making clouds and storms. Warm fronts move more slowly than cold fronts because it is more difficult for the warm air to push the cold, dense air across the Earth's surface.

The diagram represents a dihybrid cross between two pea plants heterozygous for both seed color and seed shape. mc021-1.jpg What

bija089 [108]

The correct answer is 9:3:3:1

When two homozygotes for two traits cross, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1 ( unless other factors like epistatic interaction change the inheritance model).
In our case, we have two simple traits of seed color and seed shape that follow the Mendelian model of inheritance.

In this dihybrid cross, we have
9/16 of the offspring expressing both dominant traits ( yellow and round seeds)
3/16 expressing one dominant and one recessive trait ( yellow and wrinkled)
3/16 expressing the other dominant and recessive trait (green and round)
1/16 expressing both recessive traits ( green and wrinkled)
