Answer the following question given this paragraph: Adipose Tissue Adipose tissue produces and secretes several hormones involved in lipid metabolism and storage. One important example is leptin, a protein manufactured by adipose cells that circulates in amounts directly proportional to levels of body fat. Leptin is released in response to food consumption and acts by binding to brain neurons involved in energy intake and expenditure. Binding of leptin produces a feeling of satiety after a meal, thereby reducing appetite. It also appears that the binding of leptin to brain receptors triggers the sympathetic nervous system to regulate bone metabolism, increasing deposition of cortical bone. Adiponectinanother hormone synthesized by adipose cellsappears to reduce cellular insulin resistance and to protect blood vessels from inflammation and atherosclerosis. Its levels are lower in people who are obese, and rise following weight loss. Q: What type of tissue produces and secretes several hormones involved in lipid metabolism and storage? Choices: - hormonal tissue - metabolism tissue - somatic tissue - adipose tissue A:
(Answer)
adipose tissue

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The formation of scientific theories is generally guided by the law of parsimony. The word parsimony means "thriftiness. " The law of parsimony states that, when choosing between competing theories, you should select the theory that makes the fewest assumptions. In other words, the simpler theory is more likely to be correct. For example, you probably know that Earth and the other planets of our solar system orbit around the sun. But several centuries ago, it was believed that Earth is at the center of the solar system and the other planets orbit around Earth. While it is possible to explain the movement of planets according to this theory, the explanation is unnecessarily complex. Q: What the scientific concept stating that when looking at two competing theories, the one with fewer assumptions should be chosen? Choices: - law of thermodynamics - law of simplicity - law of averages - law of parsimony A:
(Answer)
law of parsimony
