Invertebrate Endocrinology Overview of the Endocrine System * System of ductless glands that secrete hormones * Hormones are “messenger molecules” * Circulate in the blood * Act on distant target cells * Target cells respond to the hormones for which they have receptors * The effects are dependent on the programmed response of the target cells * Hormones are just molecular triggers * Basic categories of hormones * Amino acid based: modified amino acids (or amines)

Symmetry Symmetry has two meanings. The first is a vague sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance.[1][2] The second is an exact mathematical "patterned self-similarity" that can be demonstrated with the rules of a formal system‚ such as geometry or physics. Although these two meanings of "symmetry" can sometimes be told apart‚ they are related‚ so they are here discussed together.[2] Mathematical symmetry may be observed * with respect to the passage of time; * as a spatial

Cabulig River is bounded by Upper Jasaan and Bobontugan. The people will cross the river using bangka or bamboo boat. People living there make use of the river as their bathing area and for washing the clothes. The Table 1 shows the phytoplankton species per station in Cabulig River. With a population density of 583 species per millilitres‚ there were twenty (20) phytoplankton species found in Cabulig River. There are seven (7) orders in the class Bascillariophyceae.

R. sphaeroids minimizes the effects of lead and cadmium by reducing their bioavailability to plants (Li et al.‚ 2016). The phylum Actinobacteria includes facultative‚ gram positive anaerobic microorganisms which have the ability to stabilize or transform Cd‚ Cr‚ As‚ Hg and pb to less toxic forms‚ thus making them less bioavailable to plants (Alvarez et al.‚ 2016).
