Answer:

The correct answer is C. Iodine directly helps the thyroid gland to function properly.

Explanation:

Iodine is essential for our thyroid hormones to function properly, and in turn, our body.

Thyroid hormones have vital functions such as regulating energy metabolism and nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats. They also affect tissue growth, especially the nervous; They also participate in the regulation of body temperature.

That is why the adequate supply of iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid, but if it is excessive it can cause health problems such as hyperthyroidism; and if its contribution is too low, it can cause hypothyroidism or even irreversible consequences if this deficit is severe or occurs, for example, in pregnancy, lactation or first year of life.

Answer:

No more reactions occurs.

Explanation:

The activity of other metabolic pathways also change in response to the proton which enters mitochondria without passing through ATP synthase because ATP synthase is responsible for the production of ATP molecules from proton. If this ATP is not produced no further reactions occurs in the cell. This ATP is used by the cells in various activities so if the proton does not pass through ATP synthase then no energy in the form of ATP is present for other metabolic pathways of the cells.
