Main parts and their functions :
- Hypothalamus : Links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It controls the release of 8 hormones by the pituitary gland, controls body temperature, control of food and water intake, hunger and thirst!
- Pituitary gland : Produces essential hormones for everything living such as the growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone, etc.
- Thyroid gland : Produces thyroid hormones that regulate the body metabolism, play an important role in bone growth and development of the brain and nervous system in children!
- Parathyroid glands : Release parathyroid hormone which plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the blood and bone metabolism.
- Adrenal glande : Produce hormones that help the body control blood sugar, burn protein and fat, react to stressors, and regular blood pressure.
- Pineal body/gland : Secretes the melatonin hormone which may help regulate the wake-sleep cycle of the body.
- Reproductive glands : Main source of sex hormones for males and females.
- Pancreas : Has digestive and hormonal functions. One part of the pancreas called the exocrine, secures digestive enzymes. While the other part of the pancreas called the endocrine, secretes hormones called insulin and glucagon. Overall, these hormones regulate the level of glucose in the blood.

<span>The effect of insecticides will result in prolonged muscle contraction.</span> <span>Acetylcholinesterases are the enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of acetylcholine (Ach) in the synaptic cleft. This normally occurs, after the Ach achieves its effects on its receptors. On the other hand, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors inhibits the acetylcholinesterase enzyme thereby increasing the level and duration of action of the neurotransmitter ACh. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used as insecticides.</span>
Dna primase and Dna polymerase
Answer: Option A.
Electrons,carbon and energy.
Explanation:
Chemorganoheterotrophs are organisms that uses organic substrates to produce carbon needed for their growth and development. They derive their energy from oxidation and reduction of organic substances. The use the reduced carbon produced by autrotophs as as source of electrons, carbon and energy. Example is fungi that uses carbon as electron donor and source for carbon and energy.
