Which one is responsible for producing energy in bio reactions :
A
Thyroxine
B
Adrenaline
C
Oestrogen
D
Progesterone
Detailed Solution
Thyroxine, secreted by the thyroid gland, regulates the basal metabolic rate (BMR). It increases oxygen consumption and the oxidation of food in cells, so it increases the production of energy (heat) in the body.
Its deficiency lowers BMR and causes lethargy (myxoedema), while excess raises BMR (Graves' disease).
So thyroxine is responsible for producing energy in bioreactions.
