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.

Tall height is dominant to short height in pea plants. You have a tall pea plant that you cross with a short pea plant. What is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The tall parent was heterozygous

Explanation:

If tall height is dominant to short height the only genotype possible for short height is hh, while there are two possible genotypes for tall height, Hh and HH. When HH is crossed with hh all the offspring are Hh, but if Hh is crossed with hh, a quarter of the offspring is HH, a quarter is hh and half is Hh. If the tall pea plants were HH there would only be tall offspring, but because there are some short offspring we know that the tall pea plants must have a genotype of Hh.

Explain how the substitution affect in the income effect interact with changes in price to change the quantity demanded
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

For normal goods, the income effect and the substitution effect both work in the same direction; a decrease in the relative price of the good will increase quantity demanded both because the good is now cheaper than substitute goods, and because the lower price means that consumers have a greater total purchasing power.
