In the male reproductive system, the pituitary hormone _____ stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone, and the pituitary
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

<u>Luteinizing hormone </u>(LH) stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone

<u>Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)</u> stimulates Sertoli cells to secrete protein and other molecules required for spermatogenesis

Explanation:

Under the influence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the anterior pituitary releases luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, LH stimulates interstitial cells of testes (Leydig cell) to secrete the hormone testosterone. FSH acts indirectly to stimulate spermatogenesis by causing the release of androgen-binding protein (ABP) from the Sertoli cells. The function of ABP is to maintain the higher concentrations of testosterone to stimulate the final steps of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules.

Explain how the reproductive strategies of mosquitoes and elephants help them overcome the natural threats of their environments
Gnoma [55]

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.

The grades of a science test are normally distributed. Thanh finds that his grade on the test has a z-score of –2.5. Which of th
Tom [10]

The right answer is Thanh's grade is 2.5 standard deviations below the mean of the test grades.

The z scores are standard deviations. If, for example, a tool returns a z score of +2.5, it means that the result is a standard deviation of 2.5.

Very high or very low (negative) z scores associated with very low p values are at the ends of the normal distribution.
