The right answer is: Leptin .

Leptin is a hormone closely linked to the regulation of energy consumption and expenditure: appetite, metabolism, and hunger.

A hormone is a protein with a messenger function. This means that once released into the bloodstream, she goes to another part of the body to transmit a message to specific receptors.

Leptin is manufactured in white adipocytes (adipose tissue) where triglycerides (fats) are stored and acts on the hypothalamus.

Answer:

Leptin

Explanation:

Leptin is the satiety hormone. It is through him that we realize that our stomach is full and we do not feel like eating more food. Leptin is produced by adipose tissue, the higher the body fat, the greater the amount of leptin. Finally, when their levels are high, food intake decreases and when their levels are low, they induce excess food consumption.

Jeorge did not want to eat the piece of pizza that was offered to him because he had already been fed. His stomach was full and leptin indicated he was satiated and didn't need to eat that pizza.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

To determine the flask on basis of the molarity or concentration of the solutions, an individual should design an experiment with the help of using water and dialysis tubes. Dialysis tubes up should be filled with pure water, then seal or closed them from both ends.

Measure the weight and note the mass of each tube, student should stick label the cups with the solutions. Weighing the solutions after leaving them for 8 to 10 hours. The tubes would lose weight as water leave the tube when placed in the solutions due to the principle of diffusion- movement.

Limited resources contribute to evolutionary change in animals by increasing
Shtirlitz [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Limited resources contribute to evolutionary change in animals by increasing Intra-specific competition.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Intra-specific competition means competition among the members of same species.
  • Individual of same species have same ecological niche i.e. how an organism is related with biotic and abiotic aspect of environment.
  • So they require same resources of their survival. When population of any species increases then there is high chance of intra-specific competition because of limited resources.
  • Intra-specific competition also determine the population size of species. For example, competition among shark rodents.

Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom
mash [69]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
  • ee: thin eyebrows
  • FF or Ff: free earlobes
  • ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an <em>f</em> allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous<em> Ff. </em>We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes <em>FF</em>.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both <em>ee</em> and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous <em>Ee</em>.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.
