multiple choice question
when a persons diet lacks iodine, their ____ can not produce ____
o thyroid gland; t3 and t4
o pancreas; insulin and glucagon
o adrenal glands; aldosterone and cortisol
o ovaries; estrogen and progesterone

Explanation:

Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid - hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) in the thyroid gland. Lack of iodine leads to an inability of the thyroid gland to produce these hormones. The other gland - hormone pairs are not directly related to iodine availability.

Answer:

A. thyroid gland; T3 and T4
