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.

In chloroplasts, when the two photosystems work in series, electrons ejected from the photosystems do not return to them, which
cricket20 [7]

When electrons do not return to the photosystems, it is because of a process known as oxygenic photophosphorylation, a process that is key to photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants get their energy. This process involves many steps taken in order to turn energy from light, into sugar and molecular energy known as ATP, needed for plants to survive. This process uses a variety of important and complex steps, among which is included oxygenic photophosphorylation.

Oxygenic photophosphorylation is one of the key processes to photosynthesis. It involves the use of photosystems <u>one </u>and <u>three</u>, located in the thylakoid membrane of plant cells, in order to produce NADPH and ATP. These systems enter a state of photoactivation, releasing an electron to be carried by the NADPH molecule towards the Calvin cycle where the electron can be placed onto a carbon atom, for long-term storage, often as a carbohydrate.

Which is unique about carbon
sergey [27]
Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules. ... They can even join "head-to-tail" to make rings of carbon atoms.
