Hello everyone, hope you all alright (y) here you are the challenge ;)
Read the following:
Within the past few decades research has shown that fat cells act like chemical factories and that body fat is potent stuff: a highly active tissue that secretes hormones and other substances. In recent years, biologists have begun calling fat an “endocrine organ,” comparing it to glands like the thyroid and pituitary, which also release hormones straight into the bloodstream.
- Ask information questions about the above using all of the wh words needed in reporting, i.e., who, what, where, when ,why, and how.
- Then answer those questions.
- Arrange the answers in (2) in a paragraph of your own.
- Remember your paragraph must be coherent

Paragraph
Research has shown that fat cells act like chemical fat and that the body fat is potent stuff which can be described as a highly active tissue that secretes hormones and other substances.
Recently, biologists have begun calling fat an "endocrin organ" and compared it to glands such as the thyroid and the pituitary which release hormones straight into the bloodstream just as fat does.
Very good MARCO, I give you A+
It looks that your answer to the challenge is better than me.
So, best of all and keep up your good work.
My answer for the challenge:
The questions:
Potent stuff is a highly active tissue that secretes hormones and other substances.
During the past decades research has shown so.
Research has shown that fat cells act like chemical factories and that body fat is potent stuff
Biologists have begun calling fat an “endocrine organ”
Lately In recent years, biologists have begun calling fat an “endocrine organ”
Biologists have begun calling fat an “endocrine organ,”
Because endocrine organ also releases hormones straight into the bloodstream.
The Paragraph:
Potent stuff is a highly active tissue that secretes hormones and other substances. And During the past decades research has shown that fat cells act like chemical factories and that body fat is potent stuff. And lately in recent years, “Fat” began to be call “endocrine organ” by biologists. Releasing hormones straight into the bloodstream was the reason of comparing biologists endocrine organ to glands like the thyroid and pituitary.
