what hormone is primarily responsible for regulating metabolism?

Explanation:

1. Glucagon acts on the liver to release stored glucose, increasing blood sugar.
2. Body temperature regulation uses negative feedback to return to a set point.
3. Estrogen is a core hormone controlling the female menstrual cycle.
4. Adrenal glands sit atop kidneys and secrete stress-related hormones.
5. The pancreas produces insulin to regulate blood sugar.
6. Parathyroid hormone controls blood calcium levels.
7. (Note: The last question's options are cut off, but the primary hormone for metabolism regulation is thyroxine, which would be the correct answer if listed.)

Answer:

1. d. To raise blood sugar levels by prompting the liver to release glucose
2. a. Negative feedback
3. d. Estrogen
4. a. Adrenal glands
5. d. Pancreas
6. b. Parathyroid hormone
7. (Incomplete question; the standard correct answer is thyroxine, which regulates metabolism)
