Transcript text: Vertebrates have an endocrine system that produces $\qquad$
Multiple Choice
gametes
hormones
wastes
salivary juices
Solution
The answer is the second one (B): hormones.
Explanation for each option:
Gametes: These are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) produced by the reproductive system, not the endocrine system.
Hormones: This is the correct answer. The endocrine system is responsible for producing hormones, which are chemical messengers that regulate various functions in the body, such as growth, metabolism, and mood.
Wastes: The removal of wastes is primarily the function of the excretory system, not the endocrine system.
Salivary juices: These are produced by the salivary glands, which are part of the digestive system, not the endocrine system.
In summary, the endocrine system in vertebrates produces hormones.
