Which of the following summarizes the role of the hypothalamus? a. it connects the endocrine and nervous systems and controls the pituitary gland. b. it controls the rate at which cells burn fuels from food to produce energy. c. it produces glucagon and insulin to control glucose levels in the blood. d. it releases adrenaline as a response to fear, stress, and excitement.

The hypothalamus is accountable for monitoring some of the metabolic procedures and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It discharges and produces some of the neurohormones, known as releasing hormones or hypothalamic hormones, and these in return inhibit or stimulate the secretion of pituitary hormones.

Thus, the correct answer is option A, that is, hypothalamus connects the endocrine and nervous systems and controls the pituitary gland.

you are certainly talking about this picture:

a: is the label of the white square, it is showing the  replication fork, formed by helicase (d) ==> so it is the site of dna separation and replication 

b: is a new dna brand that is following directly the replication fork, so it is continuous ==> built continuously from 5' to 3

c: dna polymerase cannot replicate dna on its own, it needs the of their proteins, and one of them plays the role of a clamp which fixes  the dna with the dna template and increases  the processivity of the enzyme. ==>   stops polymerase from falling off the  template.

d: is the enzyme responsible for forming the replication fork (helicase) ==> unwinds and separates dna into two strands

e: is the delayed strand, it is built  in the opposite sense of the helicase, so dna will be built in fragments ==> built  fragments from 5' to 3 joins

and finally f: is the enzyme that builds  the new dna strand (dna polymerase) ==>   adds nucleotides to make a new dna helix.
