1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

Answer yes or no to the following questions, and then explain the reasons for your answer: a. Can meiosis occur in haploid speci
ELEN [110]

Answer:

For [a] .....Yes

For [b]......No

Explanation:

Meiosis is known to be a process of reducing the number of chromosomes in a diploid to half.

And it should be noted that , meiosis requires the pairing of two chromosomes sets.

Therefore in this case, before meiosis can occur in the haploid, it must involves two haploids. This means that two individual haploid will fuse together to form diploid meiocyte, which will allow meiosis to occur.

This is the reason why meiosis can only takes place on haploid species.

In summary, it should be noted that, meiosis can only takes place in a diploid and two individuals haploid [ haploid species] that can fuse together to form diploid, but not in a haploid individual.

Soil erosion can be slowed by ____.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Crop Rotation: Rotating in high-residue crops — such as corn, hay, and small grain — can reduce erosion as the layer of residue protects topsoil from being carried away by wind and water. Conservation Tillage: Conventional tillage produces a smooth surface that leaves soil vulnerable to erosion.

Plants and animals do not respond to the presence of abiotic factors in their ecosystems. please select the best answer from the
iogann1982 [59]

The given statement is False. Hence, the correct choice is F.

The activity of the plants and the animals are influenced by the abiotic factors present in their environment. The change in the abiotic factors outside the body such as the temperature, air and the presence of the water molecules provoke responses in the body of the organism. For example, the winters (low temperature) causes the loss of the leaves in the deciduous trees and the increase in the temperature causes more sweating in our body.
