Biology

Vinvika [58]3 years ago

1. Timothy's symptoms are loss of coordination and stamina, sudden increase in growth rate, painful joints, nausea, worse school performance (probably cognitive decline) and changes in personality, such as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. The organ system which could be implicated in these deficits is the thyroid gland, an important part of the human endocrine system

2. The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It produces two thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine, and calcitonin. The thyroid gland is a very important regulator of metabolism, protein synthesis and development. In particular, thyroid hormones regulate the body's metabolism, by controlling the way the cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which the thyroid gland produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. It is the case of an overactive thyroid and its main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Timothy's symptoms that could suggest hyperthyroidism are his sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, his nervousness and mood changes, and his fatigue or loss of energy.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is produced by the adrenal gland. It is considered the body's stress hormone, as it is released in response to a stressor. It is also produced in response to low blood-glucose concentration. Some of its functions are the increase of blood sugar and the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

You observed light passing through lenses and through a set of prisms. Why does refraction occur? Include your lab observations
lara31 [8.8K]
I don't have your lab observations, but I can give you the reason why refraction occurs.

Refraction refers to the bending of light at the interface as it passes through mediums of different densities.

Refraction occurs because light travels at different speeds in mediums with different densities.

Hope this helps!

Explain the Digestive system in human beings
Yakvenalex [24]
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.

The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.

The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.

They work together to digest and absorb the food that we consume which is of course vital for life and growth.

How much chemical energy (stored as biomass) is available to primary consumers from 10,000 kcal of primary productivity?
atroni [7]
The answer is “d” (1,000 kcal). As the trophic level increases energy is decreases by 10 times that of the previous level. If a system has 10,000 kcal, then the primary consumer have 10 times less (10,000/10) which is 1,000 kcal. The secondary consumers have 100 kcal and the tertiary have 10 kcal. Only 10% of the energy at each trophic level goes on to the next.
