Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
The study of hormones is called _____.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The endocrine glands are ductless glands which secrete their hormones into the body's extracellular compartments. The distribution of endocrine hormones takes place by the blood circulation of the body.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Correct answer: “The study of hormone is called endocrinology”.
Explanation of Solution
Hormones are the chemicals which are produced by the glands of the body. These glands are known as the endocrine glands. The endocrine glands do not have tube or ducts, so they release the hormones directly in the blood. Some of the endocrine glands are adrenal gland, pituitary gland, parathyroid, and thyroid gland. The study of the endocrine system and its secretion is known as endocrinology.
Thus, the study of hormones is called endocrinology.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
