Answer:

The correct answer is- iodine

Explanation:

Thyroid glands is an important endocrine gland of the body which release hormone called thyroid hormone in the blood. It plays an important role in metabolism, brain development, and function, muscle control, etc.

The active form of thyroxine is triiodothyronine and the formation of thyroid hormone requires the availability of iodine. Four iodine atoms are present in thyroxine and 3 is present in triiodothyronine. Without iodine, they can not be produced.  

Therefore iodine is the essential element that is required for the manufacturing of thyroxine and triiodothyronine.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The professor Bonefinder has made a mistake.

Explanation:

I't is true the Hominoid had a long snout, a large orbits that are partially enclosed, but they have no tail. This point is really critical because the morphology of an species is really important. The taxonomists use the information that morphology gave for many years to identify species, nowadays with molecular techniques some of those species are pulled apart, but the important matter is that hominoids had no tail.

So the professor Bonefinder analysis is incorrect because the hominoids have no tail.

10 pounds of walnuts cost $50. How much does 1 pound of walnuts cost?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

$5 is the cost of 1 pound of walnuts

P (Pounds) = 5D (Dollars)

Explanation:

Since 10 pounds of walnuts = $50.

Let 1 pound of walnuts = Z

then, cross multiply

So, Z = ($50 X 1 pound) / 10 pounds

Z = 50/10

Z = $5

Thus, 1 pound of walnuts will cost 5 Dollars while P (Pounds) = 5D (Dollars) is the equation that shows the relationship between pounds and dollars
