Explanation / Answer

1. False.

98% of our body is composed of 6 elements that are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.

In question there is calcium instead of sulphur.

2. The answer is- E. A, B and C.

Respiratory system supplies oxygen to the tissue and eliminates carbon dioxide from tissues.

It also maintain pH balance of blood. If co2 increases it results in respiratory acidosis. Body balances it by respiring faster.

3. B. False.

Excretion is performed by excretory system.

4. The answer is- D. All of the above.

Hormones can act as transcription factor so it can alter the rate of of protein synthesis.

Hormones can affect the rate of enzyme activity. Thyroid hormones has role on various liver enzymes.

And hormones facilitates nutrients transport through the cell wall in plants.
