The right answer is: Leptin .

Leptin is a hormone closely linked to the regulation of energy consumption and expenditure: appetite, metabolism, and hunger.

A hormone is a protein with a messenger function. This means that once released into the bloodstream, she goes to another part of the body to transmit a message to specific receptors.

Leptin is manufactured in white adipocytes (adipose tissue) where triglycerides (fats) are stored and acts on the hypothalamus.

Answer:

Leptin

Explanation:

Leptin is the satiety hormone. It is through him that we realize that our stomach is full and we do not feel like eating more food. Leptin is produced by adipose tissue, the higher the body fat, the greater the amount of leptin. Finally, when their levels are high, food intake decreases and when their levels are low, they induce excess food consumption.

Jeorge did not want to eat the piece of pizza that was offered to him because he had already been fed. His stomach was full and leptin indicated he was satiated and didn't need to eat that pizza.

I think it wouldn’t be dead until it looses all of its color and is able to crumple in your fingertips. So basically, it isn’t dead yet when it is wilted. But Its getting to the stage of being dead (like how old people are at that stage of their life where they will pass away soon).

To put it simply, the flower is not dead yet, it’s just “old” :D
