Answer:

This hormone was made by a different cell, and it’s now being taken in by another cell using a steroid receptor. The steroid receptor is affecting the process of transcription in the nucleus so that a specific type of mRNA can exit the cell and form a new protein in the ribosomes. This formation wouldn’t be possible unless specialized cells were working together to perform this function.

Indeed, steroid hormones have an important role in the well-being of the individual through specialized cells (having specific receptors). Take the example of vitamin D.

Vitamin D is involved in calcium and phosphorus absorption by the intestines, as well as in their reabsorption by the kidneys. It is involved also in bone mineralization of the skeleton and joints, as well as on muscle tone.

The mechanism of action of the hormone is identical to the scheme:

Its carrier is vitamin D-binding protein

The cell may be an intestinal cell, bone cells or renal cells.

The vitamin acts on the DNA is activating / inhibiting certain genes encoding proteins so as to increase the level of calcium in blood.

Muscle cells can use the ________ energy system to obtain energy.
frutty [35]
Muscle cells need a specific form of energy for contraction and cannot use the energy released directly from breaking down glucose or triglycerides. Rather, body cells must first convert food to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). <br /><br /> Food is digested and processed into ATP through sever different stages.

In most natural populations rapid exponential growth is unsustainable. As populations
adell [148]
Answer:
Carrying capacity is defined a the ability of the natural ecosystem to take care of the environment which does not necessarily cause the resistance in population increase.
Explanation:
The earth indeed has a mechanism of delivering changes to the system and keeping it intact but as the case of the rapid growth of population arises the mother nature sees this as an exponent of unsustainable growth as the resource used to sustain large populations is no longer available or are exhausted.
A population increase so does the carrying capacity and workload of the natural environment which at the time gets slow due either due to the man's artificial technology or the natural process like hurricane or earthquake itself.
But seeing the nature as providing possibilities for the existence of the societies throughout ages and hence trying to maintain its originality may break those activities that it considers resistance as several biotic factors like predators, disease, competition, and lack of food.

Changes in water temperature affect the density of the water. Water density is important for deep ocean currents that move water
Alika [10]

Answer:

The water would get warmer and would not sink to the bottom, and therefore disrupt the worldwide currents

Explanation:

the warmer water is less dense than the colder water and would not sink, which would interrupt the natural currents with extra external heat added by global warming
