General Science Questions

Teens drinking are at risk of date rape, becoming an alcoholic, HIV and other STDs.

Developing a habit of wearing your lifejacket or PFD at all times also reduces the chance that you will drown should you find yourself in the water unexpectedly.

A protein that acts as a hormone is INSULIN.

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.  Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high or too low.  

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant and bacteria cells that contain the chlorophyll is responsible for photosynthesis.

Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, which means that they are able to produce their own food through the process called photosynthesis.

In photosynthesis, plants use light, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose, which they convert to cellulose and use to make new cells.

Hence, that is why, Plants are called photosynthetic autotrophs.

Photoautotrophs are those organisms that can make their own food using sun light with the help of the process of photosynthesis.

Plants can prepare their own food using sunlight. Hence they are Photoautotrophs.

Water reabsorption by the renal tubules is harmonally controlled and it is a osmosis mechanism.

C3 plants are plants that undergo C3 photosynthesis, which means that they undergo the Calvin cycle (converting carbon dioxide into energy) in their chloroplasts and typically keep their stomata open during the day. These are the most common types of plants.

In C3 plants the conservation of water promotes Photorespiration.
