The answer is the third one (or C): Melatonin.

Explanation for each option:

  • Melanin: This is a pigment found in the skin, hair, and eyes, responsible for coloration. It is not synthesized in the pineal gland.
  • Somatostatin: This is a hormone that inhibits the release of several other hormones, such as growth hormone and insulin. It is primarily produced in the hypothalamus and the pancreas, not the pineal gland.
  • Melatonin: This is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles and is synthesized in the pineal gland from serotonin.

Summary: The hormone synthesized in the pineal gland from serotonin is melatonin.

Position three pulleys at the angles assigned for F1, F2 and the equilibrant force FE, exp = -FR of 3 and recorded in Table 1, and attach the masses corresponding to these forces to the ends of the strings passing over these pulleys. Add the force, F3, to the proper position and record its magnitude and position in Table 9. Determine the uncertainties δm and δθ by making an adjustment to the mass and the angle, respectively, until the ring shifts, but doesn't touch the pin, then calculate the uncertainty δF by using Eq. (5) and record all these values in Table 9. Write your result in the box below in the form F3 ± δF (in N) at θ3 ± δθ (in degrees) Compare the experimental and theoretical values for the F3 clearly stating the quantitative value you are comparing.

From the following, select all statements that are true. There may be more than one correct answer. A. If x is not in a subspace W, then x-projw(x) is not zero. B. In a QR factorization, say A=QR (when A has linearly independent columns), the columns of Q form an orthonormal basis for the column space of A. C. If W=Spanv1, v2, v3, and if v1, v2, v3 is an orthogonal set in W, then v1, v2, v3 is an orthonormal basis for W. D. None of the above.
