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.

After watching the video, how would you define the term ecological relationship? Are they always beneficial to organisms involve
dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no video but ecological relationship will be defined on a general note and it is not always beneficial to organisms.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of the same or different species tend to interact with one another. This interaction is referred to as ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP between the involved organisms. An ecological relationship can be of different types depending on the effect.

SYMBIOSIS is an ecological relationship between two organisms that interact together. SYMBIOSIS can either be mutualistic (both organisms benefit), parasitic (one organism loses and one gains), or commensalistic (one organism benefits and one neither benefits or loses). Another ecological relationship is PREDATION, where one organism called the PREDATOR feeds on part or all of another organism called PREY in order to obtain energy.

As stated above, some of the organisms involved in an ecological relationship benefits while others lose. Hence, it is not always a beneficial relationship to organisms.

deff fn [24]

The right answer is B.

Starch is, along with cellulose, the most common polysaccharide in the plant world. It constitutes the essential energy reserves of plants and is a component of the diet of humans. It is part of the group of slow sugars. Its consumption is particularly recommended to those who practice a sport.

Glycogen, which is a polysaccharide, is the form in which carbohydrates are stored in the body (animals and fungi). Glycogen is broken down into glucose molecules when the body needs energy.
