Which of the following statements relating to leptin and the metabolism of lipids is correct. (Select all that apply.) Leptin acts mainly in the brain to stimulate appetite. High levels of leptin are interpreted as overfeeding. Insulin stimulates production of leptin in adipocytes. Leptin is a hormone involved in short-term control of eating behaviour. Higher leptin levels result in a decrease in appetite.

High levels of leptin are interpreted as overfeeding.

Insulin stimulates production of leptin in adipocytes.  

Higher leptin levels result in a decrease in appetite.

Explanation:

Leptin is a peptide hormone that helps to control body weight. This hormone (leptin) is synthesized by fat cells (i.e., adipocytes), then circulates in the blood and goes to the brain, in particular in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus, where it acts to alter food intake over the long term. Higher leptin levels trigger the hypothalamus to lower the appetite. Insulin is another peptide hormone that acts to regulate long-term leptin secretion of adipose cells through a posttranscriptional mechanism. In turn, leptin increases insulin sensitivity, thereby both hormones regulate each other. When body fat decreases as a consequence of decreased appetite, insulin and leptin concentrations in the bloodstream also decrease.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

frogs. the lower the ph the higher the acid content. frogs have the highest tolerance in this scenario.
