Answer:

C. By hormones, especially androgens.

Explanation:

The secretion of sebum is stimulated by hormones. Especially androgens. Sebum can be defined as a complex mixture of lipids synthesized under hormonal stimulation under the sebaceous glands in the skin.  

Androgens can be defined as the sexual masculine hormones and they stimulate the sebaceous secretion docking into specific receptors located in the sebaceous follicle increasing the amount of produced sebum.

How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla
kirza4 [7]
The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.

A germ cell and zygote represents the biological level of organization. __________
kompoz [17]

Answer: Cell

Explanation:

The cell is the structural and functional unit of life. It is the the most basic level. A life starts from a single cell.

When a male and female gamete(germ cell) fuse together they form zygote. Firstly it is a single cell surviving inside the mother's womb.

Then differentiation takes place and the cell keeps on dividing to form different tissue layers and then organs form which makes a complete baby. Hence, zygote and germ cell are cellular level of organization.

For the same insolation, order these regions from "highest absorption to lowest."
son4ous [18]
Insolation is the amount of solar energy that is incident on the surface of the earth. For the same insolation, water bodies tend to absorb the most heat as water has a high heat capacity and so do grasslands. Areas such as desserts and glaciers do not absorb high amounts of insolation due to which these areas exhibit extreme, inhabitable environments. The order becomes:
The Atlantic Ocean
A marshy wetland
Nevada desert
Polar ice caps

Electron carrier molecules transfer electrons between metabolic pathways. Choose the electron carriers that transfer electrons f
denis23 [38]

Answer:

from glycolysis to electron transport.-glycolytic pathway

NADH  and FADH2 are the major electron carrier   from glycolysis through the Kreb Cycle to the electron transport chain.

Note-NADH  alone transports electron  from glycolysis  to the Kreb Cycle. while both   NADH and FADH2  transport electrons   from the kreb'cycle  to the electron transport chain.

from citric ac id cycle to the electron transport chain.

as explained above both NADH and FADH2.

The electrons are  in the hydrogen atoms, carried by these co-enzymes. When they reached the matrix, the hydrogen atoms are split into protons and electrons(p and e-). it is these electrons that form gradients which are transported as chains in the matrix. The gradients of the electron generated PMF for pumping Hydrogen atoms into the intramembrane of mitochondrial

Note.

Nicotinamide Adenine Di nucleotide Hydrogen(NADH)

Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide Hydrogen(FADH)
