Answer:

THYROID GLAND

Explanation:

Thyroid gland functions in metabolisms by activities of thyroid cells.This cells  withdraws  Iodine from metabolites and combine it with amino acid tyrosine  for  productions of Thyroid hormones:

ThyroxineT3,(20%)

TriiodothyronineT4(80%). This production is under the influence of Thyroid stimulating hormones,regulated by the pituitary gland,

T3 and T4  increase calorinogenesis, (liberation of heat from digestion to supply energy,and oxygen consumption of the heart.)

Deficiency of thyroid hormones are goiters, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism

Empirical evidence is obtained using our human senses, which statement
Inessa05 [86]

The statement “This type of evidence can be checked by others” best explains the importance of empirical evidence in science.

Explanation:

There are all kinds of evidence used in science, but empirical evidence is obtained as a result of <u>repeated experiments and observations</u>. This evidence is used to either support or argue against a scientific theory. Empirical evidence is the preferred evidence since this kind of evidence can be peer reviewed, i.e. reviewed by other scientists and/or researchers. In other words, the experiment can be redone, and the <u>evidence can be tested</u>.

What provides information about the body position with respect to gravity?​
patriot [66]

Answer:

Centre of Gravity

The centre of gravity (COG) of the human body is a hypothetical point around which the force of gravity appears to act. It is point at which the combined mass of the body appears to be concentrated[1]. Because it is a hypothetical point, the COG need not lie within the physical bounds of an object or person. One subjective way (there are objective measures) to approximate the COG of an object is to visualise it balancing on one finger.

Centre of Gravity in the Human Body

In the anatomical position, the COG lies approximately anterior to the second sacral vertebra. However, since human beings do not remain fixed in the anatomical position, the precise location of the COG changes constantly with every new position of the body and limbs. The bodily proportions of the individual will also affect the location of the COG.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (d) "both b and c".

Explanation:

Experimental model organisms used in scientific investigations have to fulfill certain criteria in order to be useful in the laboratory. Two of the desired characteristics are being able to reproduce quickly and with enough number of offspring in order to study genetic behaviors. <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> characteristics of being able to reproduce in 8–10 weeks and producing thousands of offspring per plant (because it can produce thousands of seeds) makes it a model flowering plant for experimental studies.
