Answer: Cushing Syndrome

Explanation:

Cushing Syndrome occurs when the body is exposed to high level of cortisol for a long time either externally (taken into the body from outside ) or internally (secretion in excess of the hormone called cortisol by the body) . It can also be called hypercortisolism .

The symptoms of Cushin Syndrome may vary depending on the severity of the excess cortisol secretion. Females may have irregular menstrual period due to this condition.

How is it posibal to have ionic and covalent bonds
Brums [2.3K]

An atom  will usually form either an ionic bond or covalent bond with another atom but not both.

Ionic bonds are the kind of bonds that result when one atom transfers or gives up electrons and another atom receives them and adds them to its own energy shells.

An example is sodium metal and chlorine gas. Sodium gives up two of its electrons and Chlorine receives them and the two elements form an ionic bond to create sodium chloride, a new compound.

Covalent bonds are the kind of bonds formed when two atoms decide to share electrons. No atom gives up any electrons and neither does the other atom receive any. An example is water. An oxygen atom shares two of its electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form  a molecule of water (H2O).

How much oxygen is consumed by fish species
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

This is not generally realized but is vital when designing aeration systems for growing on warm water species. Most research indicates that trout consume around 200 – 250 mg O2/kg/hour. I regularly record carp consuming three times as much at 700- 800 mg/kg/hour under optimal growing conditions.
