Answer:

The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.

One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland.

  • It controls certain metabolic processes and other activities of the Autonomic Nervous System.
  • It synthesizes and secretes neurohormones, often called hypothalamic-releasing hormones.
  • These hypothalamic releasing hormones control and regulate the secretion of pituitary hormones.

Plant species are particular in their ability to produce oxygen and carbohydrates through photosynthesis.

How is the density of ocean water affected by temperature and water?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

There are two main factors that make ocean water more or less dense than about 1027 kg/m3: the temperature of the water and the salinity of the water. Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases the density of sea water.

Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of thiamine in the diet.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Thiamine pyrophosphate  (derived from vitamin B1) is a coenzyme required for the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. During aerobic cellular respiration, pyruvate is oxidatively decarboxylated into acetyl CoA which in turn enters the Kreb's cycle. Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is carried out by enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). The first step is simple decarboxylation and is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase of the PDH complex.

The enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase and has a tightly bound coenzyme, thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is derived from vitamin B1. Lack of vitamin B1 in the human diet leads to beriberi that is characterized by an increased concentration of pyruvate in blood urine since oxidative decarboxylation cannot occur due to lack of the coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate.
