Judging from their basal metabolic rates (an indicator of thyroid function), categorize the rats as hypothyroid (low thyroid levels; BMR below 1600), euthyroid ("good," or normal, thyroid levels; BMR = 1650-1750), or hyperthryoid (high thyroid levels; BMR above 1800). The normal rat is:_______.a. hypothyroid.b. euthyroid.c. hyperthyroid.

Answer:

Option b (Euthyroid) is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The condition of obtaining everyday activities including its thyroid gland. Compare hyperactive (overactive) as well as hypothyroid (under-active) type thyroids
  • The BMR (Basal metabolic rate) has always been regulated by the hypophyseal or otherwise thyroid glands, thyroxine significantly reduces metabolism.

Its normal rate will be:


1673 - 1735 \ ml / O_(2)/ kg/ hr

The other choices have no relation with the particular situation. So the argument presented however is the right one.
