The primary hormone that the thyroid gland releases into the bloodstream is thyroxine. It is the inactive form, and organs like the liver and kidneys convert the majority of it into the active form triiodothyronine.

The body's metabolism, cardiac and digestive processes, muscle control, brain growth, and bone maintenance are all significantly regulated by thyroid hormones.

Hypothyroidism refers to the thyroid gland producing too little thyroxine. It could be brought on by autoimmune conditions, inadequate iodine consumption, or the use of specific medications. Sometimes there is no known cause. Untreated throxine before birth or during infancy can result in mental disability and stunted growth because thyroid hormones are crucial for both physical and mental development.

Adult hypothyroidism results in a slower metabolism. It may cause symptoms like weariness, a diminished ability to tolerate cold conditions, a low heart rate, weight gain, decreased appetite, impaired memory, sadness, muscle stiffness, and decreased fertility. For further details, read the article on hypothyroidism.

A train travels at 69 kilometers in 1 hours and then 98 kilometers in 5 hours. What is it’s average speed?
krek1111 [17]

Solution:

A train travels at 69 kilometers in 1 hours and then travels 98 kilometers in 5 hours.

(i)Total distance traveled =  69 + 98

                                       =  167 kilometers

(ii) Total time taken to cover total distance = 5 + 1

                                                                       = 6 hours

(iii)  Average speed =  total distance traveled divided by total time taken

                                =  167/ 6 = 27.83 kilometers per hour

Answer:

3.inactivated by phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Glycogen synthase is an enzyme, glycosyltransferase  that is involved in the conversion of glucose into glycogen. There are two ways of the regulation of glycogen synthase:

  • allosteric regulation- via glucose-6-phosphate, which is activator of the enzyme
  • by phosphorilation-it deactivates the enzyme and it is triggered by glucagon from the pancreas.

The regulation of glycogen synthase is very important for  glycogen metabolism and glucose storage.
