Answer:

C. Thyroid

Explanation:

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in the human body and serves to secrete thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and calcitonin hormones. T3 and T4 are iodinated amino acid derivatives and target the body cells to increase the metabolic rate.  

Thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) from the thyroid gland stimulate all body cells to increase the rate of breakdown of glucose by cellular respiration and to release more and more energy to perform various functions.  

When these two hormones are not secreted in an adequate amount, the metabolic rate of the body is reduced which in turn leads to weight gain. Therefore, the thyroid gland and its secretions are checked in an overweight person to confirm the cause of the weight gain.

kykrilka [37]

Living in a tropical environment where one learns to orient oneself through a vertical landscape of tall trees and speckled light is part of spatial orientation.

<h3>What is the rain forest zone?</h3>

The tropical rain forest zone is the zone that is known to have a very high amount of rainfall for most of the year. The rain forest zone often has a lot of luxuriant trees that blossom all year round and serve as a breeding ground for many insects such as mosquitoes.

Most of the trees in the tropical rain forest zone are arranged in strata where the tallest trees often form a sort of canopy in the area thereby reducing the light that gets to the pants that are found below and keeping the area cool.

Hence, living in a tropical environment where one learns to orient oneself through a vertical landscape of tall trees and speckled light is part of spatial orientation.

The law of conservation of matter applies to physical changes as well as to chemical changes. If this is true, then explain why
Elza [17]
The law states that matter is conserved. It is not randomly llost or gained, but transformed.

This holds true because when a glass of water is left out over night, the water evaporates. The water doesn't magically disappear. It is just transformed into water vapor.
