Answer the following question given this paragraph: 37.5 | Endocrine Glands By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the role of different glands in the endocrine system Explain how the different glands work together to maintain homeostasis Both the endocrine and nervous systems use chemical signals to communicate and regulate the body's physiology. The endocrine system releases hormones that act on target cells to regulate development, growth, energy metabolism, reproduction, and many behaviors. The nervous system releases neurotransmitters or neurohormones that regulate neurons, muscle cells, and endocrine cells. Because the neurons can regulate the release of hormones, the nervous and endocrine systems work in a coordinated manner to regulate the body's physiology. Q: Which body system releases hormones that act on target cells to regulate development, growth, energy metabolism, reproduction, and many behaviors? Choices: - pituitary - lymphatic - exocrine system - endocrine system A:
endocrine system

(Answer)
predation
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Most tunicates live a sessile existence in shallow ocean waters and are suspension feeders. The primary foods of tunicates are plankton and detritus. Seawater enters the tunicate's body through its incurrent siphon. Suspended material is filtered out of this water by a mucus net (pharyngeal slits) and is passed into the intestine through the action of cilia. The anus empties into the excurrent siphon, which expels wastes and water. Lancelets possess a notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail in the adult stage (Figure 15.35). The notochord extends into the head, which gives the subphylum its name (Cephalochordata). Extinct fossils of this subphylum date to the middle of the Cambrian period (540488 mya). The living forms, the lancelets, are named for their blade-like shape. Lancelets are only a few centimeters long and are usually found buried in sand at the bottom of warm temperate and tropical seas. Like tunicates, they are suspension feeders. Q: Most tunicates live a sessile existence in shallow ocean waters and are suspension feeders. the primary foods of tunicates are plankton and this? Choices: - bacteria - crustaceans - debris - detritus A:
Ans: detritus

Answer the following question given this paragraph: All living things need energy. They need it to power the processes of life. For example, it takes energy to grow. It also takes energy to produce offspring. In fact, it takes energy just to stay alive. Remember that energy can't be created or destroyed. It can only change form. Energy changes form as it moves through ecosystems. Q: Energy cannot be created or destroyed - it can only change what? Choices: - kind - fluid - shape - form A:
(A).
form
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Today we know that we have eight planets, five dwarf planets, over 165 moons, and many, many asteroids and other small objects in our solar system. We also know that the Sun is not the center of the universe. But it is the center of the solar system. Q: What is considered the center of the solar system? Choices: - nebulla - earth - heat - sun A:

Ans:sun
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The photo above represents water in three common states of matter. States of matter are different phases in which any given type of matter can exist. There are actually four well-known states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Plasma isn't represented in the iceberg photo, but the other three states of matter are. The iceberg itself consists of water in the solid state, and the lake consists of water in the liquid state. Q: What are the four well-known states of matter? Choices: - solid, liquid, gas, and wave - solid, liquid, plasma, and metal - solid , imine , gas , and plasma - solid, liquid, gas, and plasma A:
solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
