Answer:

The correct answer is - thyroid gland.

Explanation:

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland that releases two hormones that play an important role in cellular activities and energy release. Thyroid glands are located in the neck region.

Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 act on every type of cell present in the body to increase the metabolic activity of cells and organs. Dysfunction of the thyroid gland causes an increase or decrease in cellular activity in body cells.

Thus, the correct answer is - thyroid glands.

What is the difference between cellular respiration and the combustion of fossil fuels?
madreJ [45]

Carbon is released into the atmosphere only during the burning of fossil fuels

Explanation:

During the process of fuel burning, carbon is released in the atmosphere. The human invented power plants, factories, cars and other vehicles releases carbon in the form of carbon di-oxide in atmosphere.  

However, the cellular respiration is similar to that of fuel burning as it is too a combustion process. But the carbon produced in this process fuels the inner cellular activities rather than releasing it in the atmosphere.

1.) A person walks 12.5 km in 1.9 h. What is the person's<br> average velocity in km/h and m/s?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

1. 6.56 km/hr

2. 1.83 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity/speed can be calculated using the formula;

Average speed/velocity = distance/time

According to the information provided in the question, distance = 12.5km, time = 1.9h

Average velocity in km/hr = 12.5/1.9

= 6.578

= 6.56km/hr

However, in order to calculate the average speed in m/s, we have to convert distance in km to m, and time in hour to seconds.

1km = 1000m

12.5km = 12.5 × 1000

= 12500m

1 hour = 3600seconds

1.9hours = 1.9 × 3600

= 6840seconds

Average velocity = 12500/6840

= 1.827

= 1.83m/s
