I believe it's A j might be wrong though
Using kilometers in space is useless, as the distances between objects is drastically incred. A lightyear is 9.5 kilometers. It is simpler to say "Alpha Centauri is 4.1 light years away" than it is to say "Alpha Centauri is 28.95 Trillion kilometers away"<span />
<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:
Sun > Grass > Deer > Lion
Explanation:
The sun begins a food chain because its light is needed for a plant, in this case grass, to grow.
An animal that eats grass is the deer, who is a primary consumer.
An animal that eats deer is the lion, who is a tertiary consumer in this case.
The lion has no natural predator, and thus is at the top of this food chain.
This ecosystem can be one found where grass, deer and lions exist, for example, the deciduous forest in the eastern United States.
