Sav [38]

A. Hormones act as signal molecules between all body systems

Peripheral Chemoreceptors (Carotid + Aortic Bodies) and Central Chemoreceptors in the Medulla Oblongata detect high Carbon Dioxide levels in the blood during exercise. The respiratory centre in the Medulla Oblongata + PONS stimulate the intercostal muscles and the diphragm to contract in order to increase the rate and depth of breathing as to decrease levels of Carbon dioxide in the blood.

The thyroid gland secretes thyroxine which speeds up metabolism (the rate at which cells use glucose)

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the color change will be observed and the solution will turn purplish-black.

Explanation:

Iodine test is performed to test the presence of the carbohydrates mainly starch.

The iodine solution is chemically called potassium iodide which forms a yellow solution. The potassium iodide solution forms a complex with a starch solution which appears a purplish-black color which shows the presence of the carbohydrates.

In the given question, if we add the iodine solution to the beaker after a certain point of time then it will still form a complex with the starch and thus beaker solution will appear darker in color.

Elenna [48]
Since all of the three beetle species posses the protein, we can use it to determine their relations. We can study the sequence of the amino acids that make the protein and the 3D structure of the protein. The more differences there are in amino acid sequences and the structure of the protein, the species are more distantly related because they have diverged a long time ago and their genes that produce that protein have undergone many changes over time.
