produce that Irene containing the hormone thyroxine, which regulates metabolism
Thyroid
DEfficiency in thyroid hormone
Hypothyroidism
An excess of thyroid hormone as a result of an overactive thyroid gland
Hyperthyroidism
Menstrual iregularity, cold intolerance depression, muscle crumps, weight gain dry skin
Hypothyroidism
Weight loss increased appetite anxiety heat intolerance hair loss sweating
Hyperthyroidism
Monitors circulating thyroid hormone levels and respond to low levels while releasing thyrotropin releasing hormone
Hypothalamus
When thyroid hormone levels increase the hypothalamus produces
Thyroid, stimulating hormone
To build molecules
Anabolic metabolism
To break down molecules
Catabolic metabolism
Spontaneous or energy releasing
Exergonic reaction
Energy is absorbed
Endergonic
Energy of the enderginic photosynthesis reaction comes from the
Sun
Endergonic reactions can be pushed by coupling them to another reaction, which is the strongly exergonic
Coupling reaction
X+Y+ATP=XY+ADP+P
Coupling reaction
Function of ATP
Supplies energy to synthesize former from monomer and supplies energy for transport
