1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.
2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.
3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.
4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

Answer:
Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the sun and re-radiate it back toward the <u>atmosphere,</u> which helps to maintain a normal range of <u>temperature</u> on Earth.
Greenhouse are glass house which are used to grow crops in regions exhibiting extreme cold temperatures and snow fall. The soil in these regions are frozen therefore, are not suitable for plant growth. These glass houses trap the sunlight which is used by the plants for photosynthesis and growth. Some gases like methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur and nitrogen dioxide are released into the atmosphere. These gases maintains the range of temperature of atmosphere.
