The Simple cuboidal epithelium forms thyroid gland and secretes hormones is shown in the picture attached.

Its main functions are secretion and absorption. It has an abundance of organelles to facilitate active transport frequently found in glands, such as salivary glands, the thyroid gland, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.

The epithelial cells tend to be cubical in form after they are inactive, however additional columnar after they are actively secreting hormones.
The epithelial cells accumulate iodine from the blood and use this component within the synthesis of thyroglobulin, an oversized compound protein that forms the mixture.

F. Why are there more producers in the world than top carnivores?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

There is only enough food for a few top level consumers

Explanation:

The organisms that eat the producers are the primary consumers. They tend to be small in size and there are many of them. The primary consumers are herbivores (vegetarians). The organisms that eat the primary consumers are meat eaters (carnivores) and are called the secondary consumers. The secondary consumers tend to be larger and fewer in number. This continues on, all the way up to the top of the food chain. About 50% of the energy (possibly as much as 90%) in food is lost at each trophic level when an organism is eaten, so it is less efficient to be a higher order consumer than a primary consumer. Therefore, the energy transfer from one trophic level to the next, up the food chain, is like a pyramid; wider at the base and narrower at the top. Because of this inefficiency, there is only enough food for a few top level consumers, but there is lots of food for herbivores lower down on the food chain. There are fewer consumers than producers.
