Question

1. the production of the molecule above increases in the body when a hormone is released from the

a. liver.
b. pancreas.
c. thyroid gland.
d. adrenal glands.
use the following diagram to answer question 23.

Explanation:

The diagram shows a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). The pancreas produces insulin (a hormone) which affects glucose (related to nucleic - acid metabolism in a sense as cells need energy for nucleic - acid synthesis). The liver (A) stores glycogen and is involved in metabolism but not a direct hormone - related production for this context. The thyroid gland (C) produces thyroid hormones related to metabolism but not directly to nucleic - acid - like molecule production in this hormonal - response context. The adrenal glands (D) produce hormones like adrenaline for stress response. Insulin from the pancreas (B) helps cells take up glucose which can be used in processes related to the synthesis or function of the molecule (nucleic acid - like structure, as cells need energy for DNA replication, RNA synthesis etc.).

Answer:

B. pancreas
