Answer:

The answers are a)The production of the hormones leptin and c)It has no effect on a person´s metabolic rate

Explanation:

a) Leptin is a hormone that is produced in the adipose and plays an important role in energy regulation. Leptin expression is fixed by the amount of fat that is accumulated in the fat tissue cells. The deficiency of the gene that codes for leptin produces a congenital disorder, which leads to obesity.

c) hereditary metabolic diseases are characterized by presenting a failure in the normal activity of metabolism. Its origin is genetic and originate because of a variation of DNA, leading to the transformation of a protein. This irregularity makes it impossible for substances to become others, which produces an accumulation of a substance that is not transformed, resulting in the metabolism not working properly

Why can I only breathe through one nostril, how do I breathe through both?​
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Our bodies deliberately send more blood to an erectile tissue between the two nostrils to increase its size and direct the air flowing through one of the nostrils. After a few hours, the airflow switches to the other nostril.

Explanation:

I’ll bet most people don’t realize that when you breathe through your nose, you do so more from one nostril than the other and your body knows to switch to the other nostril every few hours. I had no idea. I’m only aware of any difference in my nostrils when I’m congested!

This nasal cycle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system which also controls things we don’t think about like heart rate and breathing

Why do we do this? Some scientists believe the alternating airflow allows each nostril to maintain optimal moisture levels so no one side gets dried out. It may also protect against respiratory infections or allergies.

Others believe it’s tied to our olfaction or sense of smell. It’s possible that the quicker and slower airflow in each nostril optimizes us to the vast range of smells. Some smells take longer to detect and transmit to the brain.
