In biology, the inner lining of tubular structures is called a lumen.
This can refer to numerous tubular structures in the body, such as the lumen of the veins and arteries, the lumen of the intestines or the tubes in the kidneys.
This term can also be used to describe a space defined by membranes of cell organelles such as the lumen of the mitochondria, the Golgi apparatus, and others.

Drag the labels to show how the glucose and hormone levels will change in each mouse after they are joined by parabiosis. labels

babunello [35]

<span>Answer: Parabiosis is an effective way to evaluate hormone function because it permits the exchange of only long-lived molecules (such as hormones) between the two joined individuals. Thus, the glucose levels of each mouse will stay the same, but the hormone levels will not. The db mutant's hormone level will decrease, and the wild type's hormone level will increase. Coleman's goal was to determine if the ob and db genes function in the hormonal regulation of appetite and body fat. In this experiment, if both appetite-suppressing hormone and glucose were exchanged, it would be impossible to determine whether any weight changes in the mice were caused by the transfer of hormone or the transfer of glucose from one mouse to the other. For example, an increase in hormone level (and thus greater appetite suppression) could lead to weight loss, as could a decrease in glucose level. On the other hand, a decrease in hormone level or an increase in glucose level could lead to weight gain.</span>

Current studies on frogs and wildlife indicate that hormonally active agents (HAAs) are __________. a. found in insecticides and

melomori [17]

The right answer is A.

The term "hormonally active agent" (or endocrine disruptor) refers to any molecule or compound chemical agent, xenobiotic having hormono-mimetic properties and described as a cause of physiological abnormalities, and in particular reproductive abnormalities. Some examples are PCB, TCDD, DDT. Some of them were used as pesticides and are now banned for use. Their traces always exist at the soil level due to their persistence.

These agents are most often associated with breast cancer.

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel

larisa [96]

Large central vacuoles, chloroplasts, and cell walls are only found in plant cells.

Large central vacuoles store nutrients and waste products, but they also maintain the plants' structures.

Cell walls also maintain structure and rigidity.

Chloroplasts are used in the process of photosynthesis, which only occurs in plants.
