damaskus [11]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

7 protons, 7 neutrons (READ EXPLANATION)

Explanation:

The atomic number represents how many protons are in an element. Generally speaking, elements have the same number of protons and neutrons. So, an element with the atomic number of 7 will have 7 protons and 7 neutrons.

However it is possible for an element to have a differing number of neutrons (an element will always have the same number of protons because that number is how the element is identified in the first place). Elements that have a number of neutrons that is not the same as the atomic number are called isotopes.

How does the basic structure of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates?
oksian1 [2.3K]
The basic structure of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates by having a four ring structure whereas a carbohydrate do not have. A steroid is a group of organic substances which has four rings that are arranged in a certain configuration. Examples are testosterone, estradiol and lipid cholesterol. It will always have seventeen carbon atoms in its structure. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are a group of organic substances that consist carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms typically in a 2:1 ratio of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. So, it would have an empirical formula of Cx(H2O)y.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) The first statement is true; the second is false.

Explanation:

To be able to perform its role, a hormone must bind a specific receptor in its target cell. The receptor can be located inside the cell (in cytosol) or in the surface of the cell (transmembrane receptor). By regulating the expression of the receptor, the target cell regulates the hormonal activity.

The number of hormone receptors in a cell is not constant, it can vary depending on sereral factors, such as the age of the organisms, the effect of several drugs, mutations or diseases.
