Which of the following represents a difference between eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands? eccrine sweat glands are located deeper in the dermis than apocrine sweat glands. eccrine sweat glands begin to function at puberty, while apocrine sweat glands function throughout life. the secretions of apocrine sweat glands contain more fat and protein than do the secretions of eccrine sweat glands. eccrine sweat glands use exocytosis to make secretions, while apocrine sweat glands do not.

The secretions of apocrine sweat glands contain more fat and protein than do the secretions of eccrine sweat glands.

Explanation:

Eccrine sweat glands are the simple and coiled tubular glands and are more frequently distributed than the apocrine sweat glands. The sweat secreted by the eccrine sweat gland is water-based liquid with only a small quantity of ions, and other substances like urea, uric acid, amino acids, etc. The eccrine sweat glands serve in the regulation of body temperature through evaporation of sweat.

Apocrine sweat glands are also simple coiled tubular glands but with larger ducts and cavities than the eccrine glands. The secretion of apocrine sweat glands is the same in composition as the eccrine sweat except for the presence of lipids and proteins in it. Lipids and proteins in apocrine sweat make it milky or yellowish in color. Eccrine sweat glands start functioning after birth while apocrine sweat glands start to function after puberty only.

it has one origin of replication, but it proceeds in two directions - d)

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
