Answer:

1. Endocrine disrupters

Explanation:

Endocrine disrupters are chemicals that alters or interrupts the normal functioning of the endocrine system that consists of several glands that produce hormones responsible for various functions such as metabolism, reproduction, growth, etc. When this interferes with the endocrine system, it can bring about many undesirable consequences, one of which is low testosterone levels as reported in the Alligators in Florida lake that is polluted by high levels of dioxins. These chemicals act as endocrine disrupters.

organize the terms isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic in order from the solution with the lowest concentration of dissolved par
8_murik_8 [283]
Hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic
these terms are connected to the solution concentration. hypotonic solution is the solution with low concentration (lower than the concentration of particles in the living cell of an organism). if you put a cell in such solution, that cell would baloon because of the water migrating inside willing to rebalance the concentrations. isotonic solution is the solution with concentration of particles equal to the concentration inside a cell. hypertonic solution has concentration of particles higher than a cell and putting cell in this solution makes it shrivelled because of the water flowing outside (willing to rebalance concentrations again).
that's a phenomenon of osmosis.
