Testosterone is a steroid. Its physiological functions are:
Determines the the gender of a developing embryo
Development of reproductive organs and the prostrate gland in males
Responsible for secondary sexual characteristics in males such as deeper pitch, increased muscle bulk, hair on the upper lip
Regulates normal sperm development
Another is cholesterol. Physiological functions are:
Helps maintain the structure of cells and vessels improving overall health and function in the body.
Percursor to important sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
Used as an insulator around nerves and is absolutely essential for brain function.
Precursor to Vitamin D, which supports a healthy immune and nervous system
The correct answer is that "for most clients, surgery is recommended only if non-surgical treatments have been unsuccessful." This is because of the guidelines involving medicine and surgery as well as guidelines involving the treatment of colitis. The question should have specified what type of colitis is the patient having, whether infectious or autoimmune. In infectious colitis, then surgery almost has no role and medical treatment with antibiotics as well as supportive therapy and fluid replacement are the only ones needed. In autoimmune colitis such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, while immunosuppressor drugs may have a role, surgery may be the mainstay of treatment especially those who are at risk of malignant degeneration.
The largest organism is Fungi in Oregon (IT'S LIVING) and it covers roughly around 2,000 acres <span />
I believe the answer is decomposers. Does that make sense in the context of what you have learned in class? If you look up "the circle of phosphorous," you can see images that show that decomposers, like fungi and microbes break down dead animals and plants using some of their phosphorous, but what isn't used is returned to the soil. The same can be said for sulfur. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead plants and animals and return sulfur to the soil.
I want to warn you that there is a slight possibility that I might be incorrect. I am still pretty sure I am right. The only thing that makes me question the correctness of my answer is another brainily question I saw when i was looking up this stuff. Two people had responded to that Middle schoolers question and had said the answer was producers. They didn't give any explanation for their answers. So, I am confused as to how they both got the same answer that was different from mine. No material that I have seen regarding either the phosphorous cycle or sulfur cycle has shown plants as RETURNING the most sulfur and phosphorous into the soil. Usually, it has been depicted that producers, such as plants, UTILIZE the most phosphorous and Sulfur from the soil.
