Name two hormones produced by the endocrine system and describe how they work with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis

Chemistry

The 2 hormones are insulin & glucagon.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body it 'fits'. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site ( i.e an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls. 
If the hormone fits, then it will work.

The hormone can set off a cascade of other singling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect ( for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose in muscle cells)

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ' feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.


btw- found all this info @ the Better Health channel, an australian government health website , so if your still confused by my answer, check out this website

What are the roles of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers for the trophic levels in the energy
Nesterboy [21]
     This question is more for Biology than Chemistry, but the role of producers is to make energy (food) to be consumed. In a pyramid diagram, the producers would be at the bottom. Now going up the pyramid, the primary conumers are the first to consume producers and obtain energy from them. As you go up the pyramid, the secondary consumers will consume the primary consumers as a way to obtain energy, and the same goes for tertiary consumers towards secondaries.

As you go up the energy pyramid, you will notice a trend that there is less energy being obtained from each consumer. In other words, the producers will ALWAYS have more energy than the tertiary consumers.

I hope this answers your question.
