Solution

Hormones:

  1. A substance that is released by endocrine glands that signal other glands to secrete other hormones or perform particular functions is called hormones.
  2. Thyroxin controls protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism in the body to maintain the ideal balance for growth.
  3. A hormone called thyroxine is released into the circulation by the thyroid gland.
  4. It then goes to the liver and kidneys, where it is transformed into triiodothyronine, which is the compound's active form.
