Question
Chapter 11, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To propose: A mechanism for the activity of caffeine that accounts for the increase in alertness and sleeplessness.
Introduction: Epinephrine is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It reaches to the target cells through the blood and binds to its cell-surface receptors called G-protein coupled receptors. After binding, intracellular signaling cascade begins.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
