1 answer:

3 0

Iodine it is an element that is required for the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
The body does not produce iodine on its own so it needs to come from dietary sources like eggs, prunes bananas, shrimp, cod, etc or you can take supplements of iodine.
When you consume iodine it quickly absorbed and enters into your bloodstream and thenyour thyroid that has tiny cells that capture the circulating iodine and takes in and oxidizes it so it can begin to be used to create (T3) and (T4 which are thyroid hormones.

Answer:

3 (Cells carry out the respiration process)

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a metabolic (catabolic) process common to all living things as all living things need energy for their life processes.

Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules in presence or absence of oxygen (aerobic or anaerobic) resulting in the release of Carbondioxide (CO2), water and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Food molecules (containing stored energy in their chemical bonds) absorbed after digestion are broken down and the energy within their molecules are freed. This freed energy in form of ATP, is used to power the organism's movement and physiological functions.

Note that, ATP is an energy carrying molecule and a usable form of energy by cells. This is so because ATP releases energy quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate (Pi) is removed to become ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is a low energy molecule.

Aerobic cellular respiration consists of Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation. A total of 38 ATP molecules is produced in the cytosol of prokaryotes while a total of 36 ATP molecules is produced in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

What is the definition of a hypothesis ?

mixer [17]

A hypothesis is an educated guess while using reasonable thinking, about the answer to a scientific question. Although it is not proof in an experiment, it is the predicted outcome of the experimentation. It can either be supported or not supported at all, but it depends on the data gathered.
