The answer is (1)


In the cell of the body, oxygen is used in a process that releases energy. Oxygen is used in the last and most important step in cellular respiration namely the electron transport chain.

In this process electrons are passed from one electron carrier to another and as they are  thus transferred, energy is released. Toward the final step, electrons are transferred  to oxygen which is the final acceptor of the electrons. By the time the process ends, 34 ATP molecules are produced.

Answer:

Thyroid hormones      

Explanation:

Animals and people exposed to pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, have shown to be affected by their effect on the thyroid. These chemicals can produce endocrine alterations acting as thyroid disrupters. They affect many mechanisms in the organisms such as inhibition of thyroid iodine uptake, <u><em>interference with the thyroid hormone receptor</em></u>, binding to transport proteins, among others. They cause toxicity in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

There are many studies that associate thyroid diseases with exposure to organochloride pesticides. Significant alteration in the TSH, T3, and T4 levels have been expressed by people directly or indirectly exposed to the chemicals.
