Biology
1 answer:
I am Lyosha [343]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Graves´ disease is an autoinmmune disease that is caused when the immune system attacks the cells of the thyroid gland, which leads to an overproduction of the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. This constant attack and destruction on the part of the immune cells causes the thyroid to increase in size, a condition that is commonly known as hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism can become a really serious issue because the excessive production of the hormones of the thyroid gland will increase the metabolic activity of all parts of the body and can, if left untreated, cause such serious conditions as blood clotting problems, type 1 diabetes, among others.

How do earthworms enrich plant growth?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

They tunnel through the soil, which allows air to enter.

Explanation:

Earthworms are considered to be agriculturally friendly living organisms that hold immense importance in improving the growth and productivity of plants.

They live in the soil and feed on the debris of plants such as manure, grasses, roots and dead leaves. They extensively channel and tunnel through soils while moving that causes loosening of the soil resulting in more aeration of the soil. The more the soil aeration is, the better soil drainage is.

Studies have shown that soil containing earthworms have ten times better drainage than soils that donot have earthworms. Therefore, C is the best option.


Hope it help!

IgorLugansk [536]
The correct option is D.
If water density at freezing point is greater, the ice formed will sink to the bottom of the water body and freeze the water up from the bottom. This will surely lead to the death of everything that live inside the water.
