Answer:

C) polarity

Explanation:

The polar nature of water molecules allows it to dissolve like molecules, such molecules are also polar.

  • In water molecules hydrogen bonds provides a special dipole - dipole attraction.
  • Here, the hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom(oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine).
  • This leads to a charge separation in which the hydrogen atom has net positive charge and the electronegative one has negative charge.
  • This makes the molecule of water polar.
  • By this property water easily attracts oppositely charged portions of another substance and then pull them into solution.

This property of water is polarity of water.

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

Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The bright color of butterflies is a discouraging factor for its prey

Explanation:

Butterflies and caterpillars are easily visible to its prey but still they do not eat any of them. This can be because of two factors –

a) The bright color of these organisms might be a factor that makes them uninteresting (intending to be  tasteless etc.) for their prey

b) The bright color might be a signal to the bird indicating in advance of any harm associated with the butterflies/caterpillar feeding.

Hence , instead the Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds, the  birds rarely eat the monarchs
