Answer: Annelida
Leeches are soft bodied segmented parasitic worms. They belong to the phylum Annelida. They are hermaphrodites which means they exhibit sex organs of both male and female.
The characteristics which are found in leeches which group them into Annelida are:
1. The body of the leeches are bilaterally symmetrical like other Annelids. The body organs are also segmented.
2. They have a closed circulatory system in which the heart pumps the blood to all the parts of the body.
3. Leeches either exhibit a protusible pharynx or proboscis which allows them to suck the blood of the host such features are also common in other Annelids.
Not sure if I'm correct but my best guess is the cell membrane seeing as it surrounds the cell itself and is responsible for allowing certain molecules to diffuse in or out of the cell. Good Luck! :)
One critical observation used by both Lamarck and Darwin in their research is about characteristics of inheritance. Although each claimed different sources of inheritance, they were in unison that in time, individuals acquire characteristics called inheritance. Lamarck believed that inheritance is passed from parents to offspring, while Darwin thought that it’s a product of natural selection.
Growth Hormone and insulin are protein hormones that promotes the growth and regulation of substrate metabolism.
Explanation:
The Growth Hormone performs the metabolic actions in various tissues like liver, muscle, and pancreas through insulin growth factor. Insulin slows down the growth hormone signalling through the growth hormone receptor. It is important for maintaining the responsiveness of liver to growth hormone.
The insulin signalling pathway is very important in metabolic diseases like diabetes and aging. These insulin activates a phosphorylation cascade that branches to form a network affecting multiple biological processes.
