1+2+3+4-17(2) < 36 +23=?

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, I'll treat it as a true/false question

Given

$1+2+3+4-17(2) < 36 +23=?$

Required

True or false

$1+2+3+4-17(2) < 36 +23$

Open bracket

$1+2+3+4-17*2 < 36 +23$

$1+2+3+4-34 < 36 +23$

Evaluate the expression on the left-hand side

$-24 < 36 +23$

Evaluate the expression on the right-hand side

$-24 < 59$

24 is truly less than 59.

Hence:

$-24 < 59 = True$

Mamont248 [21]

The deficiency of growth hormone during bone formation would cause a decreased proliferation of the epiphyseal plate cartilage. Growth hormone is a peptide hormone secreted by the pituitary gland under the control of the hypothalamus. It directly through IGF-I stimulates osteoblasts proliferation and activity, promoting bone formation. In addition it also stimulates osteoclast differentiation and activity, promoting bone resorption. Therefore, growth hormone is an important hormone in bone formation.
