<h2>
Answer:</h2>
I believe the correct answer is D. React to stimuli from outside the body.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Hormones are types of proteins that produce responses hand in hand with neurons but they are much slower and longer lasting. They can act on the same cells and in that instance they will be called autocrine hormones. Those that act on neighbouring cells are called paracrine hormones while those that act on far away cells are called endocrine hormones.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>a. Initiate behavior and reproduction:</h3>
This is a function of hormone(s). Hormones such as testosterone can initiate both behavior of an organism and also stimulate reproduction. Testosterone causes maturation of sex features and sperms in males to initiate reproduction. Other hormones with such functions include: Estrogen and adrenaline.
<h3>b. Coordinate the production and use of energy:</h3>
Some hormones conduct this function by regulation metabolism in the body. These include: Insulin in intake of glucose for energy and glucagon in maintaining blood glucose levels. Corticosterone also responds in stress to maintain energy.
<h3>c. Maintain nutrition and metabolism:</h3>
Nutrition can be maintained by hormones such as ghrelin that stimulates appetite, insulin in intake of glucose, leptin and glucagon.
<h3>d. React to stimuli from outside the body</h3>
This is not a function of a hormone but rather the function of a neuron. Neurons have specific structures called denrites that recieve signals/stimuli from outside the body then convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain which produces another impulse to be taken to a specific site to produce a desired response.

Answer;
The enzyme structure begins to break down
intermolecular bonds are broken
enzyme molecules gain kinetic energy.
Explanation;
Enzymes are proteins that play an important function in the body of catalyzing reactions in the body.
Enzymes work best at optimum temperature; low temperature lower than optimum temperatures deactivates them and higher temperature denatures them.
The shape of an enzyme depends on its temperature; when they get too warm they get loose, and at very low temperatures they get too tight. At optimum temperature or at the right temperature then they are just at the right shape and the chemical reactions they catalyze will be at optimal rate.
Answer:
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle.
