Answer: B) iodine

Explanation:

Iodine is a trace element. It is an inorganic mineral. It is essential component in the human diet. It is useful for the production of the thyroid hormone. Iodine salt and seafood are the major sources of iodine.  It is also the major component of human blood that is the hemoglobin. In bacteria or plants the iodine is not required. Iodine is not an essential nutrient for plant growth. Iodine can kill the bacteria.

Which of the following statements is true?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is: D) The kidneys are paired organs that regulate water and electrolyte balance in terrestrial vertebrates.

Explanation:

The kidneys are the organs that control, for example, <u>the volume of body fluid compartments, acid-base balance, and electrolyte concentrations. </u>These organs are also key to <u>eliminate the toxins from the body. </u>

The kidneys are always two (when not is because of a pathology or the surgical removal of one of the two) and are present in vertebrates.

The kidneys <u>do not regulate blood glucose</u>. That is the job of the pancreas through two hormones called insulin and glucagon.

The kidneys <u>do not remove nitrogenous wastes</u> (urea) from the urine, instead they filtrate these wastes from the blood for these to be excreted through urine.
