To determine: The major theme among the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological system or evolution, which is evident and related to the statement “The role of hormones in animal bodies shows both unity (similarities among species) and diversity (differences among species)”.
Introduction: Hormones are chemical signals that are released by endocrine cells and carried to all parts of the body through blood. The endocrine system consists of collection of hormone-secreting cells.
