Answer:
An autoimmune problem involving the thyroid gland: C. Graves' disease
Hyposecretion of growth hormone: Pituitary dwarfism
Hyposecretion of the pancreas: E. Diabetes mellitus
Hyposecretion of the adrenal cortex: B. Addison's disease
Hypersecretion of growth hormone: A. Acromegaly
Explanation:
Growth hormone is the hormone from the anterior pituitary gland that targets the tissues such as muscles, bones, cartilage, liver, etc. and stimulates the somatic growth of the body. Its hypersecretion leads to acromegaly in adults while its hyposecretion causes dwarfism in children characterized by stunted growth. There is abnormal thickening of specific bones in acromegaly.
Pancreatic hormone insulin serves to lower down the blood glucose levels. Insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus characterized by higher blood glucose levels in the affected person.
Hyposecretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid from adrenal cortex causes Addison's disease characterized by rapid weight loss, lower levels of glucose and sodium in plasma while a rise in potassium levels.
Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease wherein the thyroid gland is stimulated for increased secretion of thyroxine resulting in protruded eyeballs.
<span> If the concentration of blood is 0.5 M, and red blood cells that are bathed in blood neither shrink nor swell and burst, the concentration of cytoplasm of RBCs is A. 0.5m. An isotonic solution refers to two solutions that have the same water concentration on both sides of a membrane. So, cells in isotonic solution have the same water concentration as the isotonic solution and thus they will neither shrink nor swell and burst. If the concentration of blood is 0.5 M, the concentration of RBC cytoplasm must be the same (0.5 M).</span>
