  • The functions of some of the hormones are as follows:
  1. <em>Cortisol</em> is a glucorticoid which is released when blood glucose is low.

How does the atmosphere protect the earth
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The atmosphere protects earth from the suns strong rays and keeps our oxygen on earth for us to breathe. Not to mention the moon would start taking all our water. If we somehow DID survive, we would not last very long, for the earth would over heat and with no plants, animals, or water, we would either die from starvation or from dehydration. If it weren't for the atmosphere our world would be burned to a crisp like Venus!
