ACTH means Adrenal Corticotrophic Hormone.

CRH - Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone produced by hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release the ACTH which in turn produces corticosteroid hormones by adrenal glands.

Hence, the given statement is TRUE.

Veins seen in the leaves, serve the function of Transpiration.

Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. 

The art and science of map making is called Cartography.

The pilgrims follow John Calvin's teachings.

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.

The major greenhouse gases (GHG’s) solely responsible for greenhouse effect are Carbon dioxide, Ozone, Methane and Water vapor. Although these gases comprise 1% of our atmosphere, they act like a thick warm blanket outside that surrounds this planet and regulate climate control. Greenhouse effect is not bad. In fact, it is needed for all of us to survive on planet Earth. In short, the greenhouse effect is nothing but a naturally occurring process designed by nature that aids in heating earth’s surface and helps to maintain ecological balance.

Now, while some of that heat dissipates into space, some of it burns along the atmosphere, and some of it penetrates the atmosphere and finds its way into the lower atmosphere and the planet’s surface. This in turn raises the average temperature of the Earth. Therefore, the increase in the Earth’s surface temperature due to increase in the number of greenhouse gases leads to global warming.

Causes of Green House Effects ::

* Burning of Fossil Fuels

* Deforestation 

* Increase in Population

* Farming

* Industrial Waste and Landfills.

S8 is an elemental form of sufur. In elemental form it can't be reduced or oxidized. Hence, it oxidation number is zero and thus sulfur is zerovalent here.
