Answer:

Combustion of a substance

Explanation:

Johann Becher in 1669 proposed that all the material are composed of the rocks, water and the oils present in the Earth.

When the material is burned, the oil present in the material which is responsible for the combustion. The oil is escaped into the atmosphere which is released through fire and flames are the signs that it is releasing.

The distant ancestors of tigers may have had bodies without stripes. Use the theory of natural selection to explain how tigers m
Degger [83]

The tigers have stripes because it is advantageous for them because they are an ambush predator and need good camouflage. The stripes are excellent camouflage for places that are shady, so the tiger can easily get close to its prey and attack it.

There's a very big possibility that the distant ancestors of the tigers did not had stripes. The reasons for that are different environment, but also that the stripes are actually a very rare type of pattern among the felidae family members.

As the environment started changing, the tigers needed to adapt to it, so they also needed a different camouflage. As some tigers in the population started to develop stripes, they were better hunters, thus were stronger, and seen as suitable mates for the females, as it would provide an offspring with the advantage that the male tiger has. Through this selection in the breeding process of mates that have advantageous camouflage patterns, the stripes were becoming more and more present, to the point where they totally pushed aside and eliminated the previously dominant camouflage pattern.

They are both hormones that regulate blood-sugar levels

Explanation:

Insulin is a hormone that controls the blood glucose level. It released in the blood stream when the glucose level increases after eating food. It is produces by pancreas, insulin helps the glucose to enter the body's cells where it can either be stored for future use or can be used for energy.

Glcogen  is produced by alpha cells of pancreas, it is a peptide hormone. Its main function is to raise the concentration of fatty acids and glucose in the bloodstream. It is one of the main catabolic hormone of the body

As per the above mentioned statements, the option 'They are both hormones that regulate blood-sugar levels' is the correct answer.

Which of the following best summarizes how hormone levels are controlled?
anastassius [24]

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
