Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland like a bean, located in the lower part of the brain. As the name says, this hormone is absolutely essential for providing physical growth. However, this hormone also has an influence on the body's metabolism.

It was already known that GH is linked to bone development and height increase and is found in large quantities in muscles, liver, tissues and organs directly involved in growth metabolism. After some scientific studies and experiments, it was discovered that the brain is also full of receptors for this hormone.

Previously, leptin was believed to be the main hormone to work to conserve energy in cases of dietary limitations. When there is weight loss, circulating leptin levels in the bloodstream fall. Leptin is a hormone produced by the body's cells that store fat. When leptin levels start to lose fat, the levels drop a lot and the brain feels this drop and activates the hunger and energy saving mechanisms.

5. Compare the energy emitted by waves with long <br> wavelengths to waves with short wavelengths
irinina [24]

Explanation:

The energy emitted by long wavelength waves are smaller to those emitted by short wave lengths.

The energy of a wave is a function of its wavelength and frequency.

  • The wavelength of a wave is the distance between its crest.
  • Frequency is the amount of waves that passes through a point in a period of time.
  • Energy of a wave is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength.
  • The higher the frequency of a wave, the more the energy.
  • Waves with a high wavelength carries very little energy.
  • Long wavelength radiations have a long wavelength as the name implies. They carry very little energy and have low frequency. Examples are infra-red.
  • Short wavelength radiations have short wavelength. They carry very high amount of energy and have very high frequency. Examples are x-rays and gamma rays.
