<h2>
Answer:</h2>
I believe the correct answer is D. React to stimuli from outside the body.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Hormones are types of proteins that produce responses hand in hand with neurons but they are much slower and longer lasting. They can act on the same cells and in that instance they will be called autocrine hormones. Those that act on neighbouring cells are called paracrine hormones while those that act on far away cells are called endocrine hormones.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>a. Initiate behavior and reproduction:</h3>
This is a function of hormone(s). Hormones such as testosterone can initiate both behavior of an organism and also stimulate reproduction. Testosterone causes maturation of sex features and sperms in males to initiate reproduction. Other hormones with such functions include: Estrogen and adrenaline.
<h3>b. Coordinate the production and use of energy:</h3>
Some hormones conduct this function by regulation metabolism in the body. These include: Insulin in intake of glucose for energy and glucagon in maintaining blood glucose levels. Corticosterone also responds in stress to maintain energy.
<h3>c. Maintain nutrition and metabolism:</h3>
Nutrition can be maintained by hormones such as ghrelin that stimulates appetite, insulin in intake of glucose, leptin and glucagon.
<h3>d. React to stimuli from outside the body</h3>
This is not a function of a hormone but rather the function of a neuron. Neurons have specific structures called denrites that recieve signals/stimuli from outside the body then convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain which produces another impulse to be taken to a specific site to produce a desired response.

Answer:
I'm sorry but there is no picture above you-
After 10 years, the isotope would have had two half lives. For each half life, half of the material reacts. Therefore, after one half life, 50% remains. Then, after a second, 25% remains. D is the correct answer.

Answer: The given statement is true.
Explanation: Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom.
General equation of ionization energy is given by:
- If the outermost electron is loosely bound to the nucleus which means that the electron can be easily removed form an atom, it will require less amount of ionization energy.
- And if the outermost electron is tightly bound to the nucleus which means that the electron cannot be removed easily from an atom. And hence, it will require more ionization energy.
Hence, the given statement is true.
