Hypothyroidism

Explanation:

completed question

Generally Myxedema is used interchangeably with hypothyroidism.That is the pregnant woman is suffering from hypothyroidism(low thyroid hormone or under reactive thyroid).The latter is a disorder of endocrine system in which the thyroid  gland produces low thyroid hormone concentration.

The functions of thyroid hormones are  increase in  basal metabolic rate, neural metabolism,protein synthesis etc.

Untreated hypothyroidism in pregnant women leads to delayed in the growth of the baby and  intellectual development.( from poor protein metabolism)

Therefore the correct answer is Hypothyroidism since there was delayed in growth and development of the baby

An infant whose mother had myxedema during the pregnancy has failed to meet standards for growth and is developmentally delayed. Which hormonal imbalance is this child exhibiting?

hyperthyroidism

calcium difficiency

hypothyroidism  

hypoglycemia

dopamine insufficiency

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure

the sun creates it's own light, also gives light and life to bunch of stuff like plants,animals,humans etc.photosyntesis is the process of making food which needs sun,water,nutrients etc.
