1. Rainforests only cover around 2 percent the total surface area of the Earth, but really about 50 percent of the plants and animals on the earth live in the rainforest.
2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.
3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.
4. Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.

Answer: overpopulation of predators
Explanation: Overpopulation of predators is the correct option. Predators are the organisms which kill other organism so as to obtain them as food. The organism being killed is called as the prey.
If the population of the predators increase this will lead to the extinction of many species of prey. As it is evident that every organism in the ecosystem has a typical role to play. Therefore, it can be said that role of prey will not be performed and this may lead to disturbance in the ecological balance.
The principal function of thyroxine is to stimulate the consumption of oxygen and thus the metabolism of all cells and tissues.
Thyroxine is termed T4. It travels through the blood to the target cells and becomes converted to triiodothyronine or T3.
T3 is the active form of thyroxine. T3 enters the target cell's nucleus binding to genes responsible or involved in the metabolism of sugar in the body. T3 stimulates these genes and in so doing metabolism (conversion of oxygen and calories to energy) is carried out by the cell, which also results in generation of body heat.
