Answer:

Endocrine disruptors are the synthetic or natural chemicals that may interfere with the functioning of the endocrine system in the human body. These chemicals mimic the naturally occurring hormones produced in the body like estrogen (a female sex hormone) and androgen (a male sex hormone) also these interfere with the production of the thyroid hormone. They bind to the receptors present in a cell and prevents the endogenous hormone from binding. The normal signaling process fails to respond properly.

Chemicals that functions as endocrine disruptors include dioxine, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides and DDT.

Which organelle is responsible for wilting?
makkiz [27]

Vacuole is the answer.

Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls. 

The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.

When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.

In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced  compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.
