Mama L [17]

Iodized salts helps to prevent an inadequate production of thyroid hormones .

<h3>What is iodized salts ?</h3>

Iodized salt is a table salt . it is a mixture of very little amount of sodium iodide and potassium iodide .

It helps to prevent iodine deficiency .

It is a micronutrient and dietary mineral that is naturally present in the food supply .and also it is a heavy element .generally found near sea coasts .

Iodine deficiency disease includes hypothyroidism .

<h3>What is hypothyroidism ?</h3>

It occurs due to less secretion of thyroid hormone caused by iodine deficiency .it causes stunted growth . it shows low rate of metabolism .

Hypothyroidism includes diseases like myxoedema or gull's disease , cretinism .

Inadequate supply of iodine in diet causes enlargement of the gland known as simple goitre.

<h3>Thyroid hormones :</h3>

It is secreted by endocrine glands known as thyroid gland . it includes two types of hormones known as thyroxine and calcitonin .

Thyroxine is an iodine containing hormone known as tetra-iodothyroxine(80%) and tri-iodothyroxine (20%).

calcitonin is secreted from thyroid gland and is polypeptide hormone .

What human activities affect the water, carbon, and the nitrogen cycle what are the consequences

Mademuasel [1]

The nitrogen cycle is impacted by humanswhenever fertilizer is applied to farmland to help crops grow. This adds nitrates to the soil. If soil erodes, the nitrates are transported and deposited in the nearest body of water. This can cause algae to overgrow in a process called eutrophication. The lake will run out of oxygen as the algae die off and bacteria begin their decomposition.Sessile organisms are greatly affected.

Which examples describe how a plant might meet the challenge of getting and using energy? Choose all answers that are correct. A

SpyIntel [72]

<span>Assume: Energy = Sunlight.

grow lamps, etc.

A is definitely correct: Plants and trees that need maximum light MUST be able to grow as tall or taller than the other plants/trees around them. Plants that are more efficient at producing food (through photosynthesis) can live in the shadows of other plants. B doesnt involve getting or using energy. C is the function of food storage. The Energy was used to make the carbohydrates up in the leaves. D This should read New Leaves on the tree... If the tree was not deciduous, the leaves would stay on the tree and continue to perform photosynthesis throughout the year - as long as there was ample light. A is definitely correct and D is probably a correct answer also. FYI - Photosynthesis takes water from the plant, CO2 from the air and Energy from the Sunlight. Chloroplasts (the Green in the green leaves and stems) combine the molecules and light energy to produce 3 byproducts: O2, H2O, and Carbohydrates (mainly sugar or C12H22O11). The carbohydrates are then transported by the plants capillary system (by means of the Phloem which flows down to the roots) to the roots where it is converted as needed to be stored as some form of sugar or starch for use later in plant growth (leaves, stems and roots).</span>
