Hormones are chemical molecules produced by endocrine glands. One such endocrine gland is the thyroid gland, which synthesizes t

he thyroid hormone, which in turn affects the heart muscles. Which two statements describe the probable reason for the function of the hormone?
The cells in the heart have specific receptors that allow for the intake of hormones.
The heart and the endocrine glands have the exact same types of cells.
All cells make the same types of hormones.
Thyroid hormones show their effect on the heart by means of specialized cells.
Thyroid cells and cardiac cells have different DNA.

Answer:

The right answer is 1 and 4

Explanation:

A hormone is a biologically active chemical substance, synthesized by a glandular cell secreted into the internal environment where it circulates, acting remotely and by blood on receptors specific to a target cell. It transmits a message in chemical form and therefore plays a role of messenger in the body.

The emitting organ thus acts at a distance on all of the target organs of the organism or of neighboring organisms of the same species, or even of symbiotic organisms whose receptors are activated in contact with specific hormones (lasting interactions).

Which of these types of weathering does not require the presence of water?
julia-pushkina [17]
The answer is oxidation or chemical weathering. There are three main types of weathering, which includes, mechanical weathering, biological and chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by wind, sand rain, thawing, freezing, and other forces that can physically alter the rock. Biological weathering is caused by the activities of plants and animals as they grow, nests and burrow. Chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions rather than by mechanical means.

Match each type of cell junction with its description.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Tight junctions - prevent liquid from seeping between cells

Desmosomes - act as rivets to hold adjacent cells together when epithelial tissue moves

Gap junctions - allow movement of cytosol, ions, and small molecules between animal cells

Plasmodesmata - openings through the cell walls of plant cells that allow adjacent cells to share materials

Explanation:

1) Tight junctions are one of the cell junctions found in animal cells. Tight junctions function to prevent the flow of liquid materials between cells.

2) Desmosomes are another type of cell junctions whose function is to form a connection between two adjacent cells. The structure formed by this connection confers strength upon the tissues involved.

3) Gap junctions are the most commonly found cell junctions found in animal cells that connects adjacent cells allowing the passage of cytosol, ions and other small molecules in them from one adjacent cell to another.

4) Plasmodesmata is a cell junction found in plant cells. They are small openings lying across the cell wall of plant cells whose function is to connect the cells and facilitate the movement of materials from one cell to another.

What is it called when the forest remains but its richness and well-being have deteriorated?
ira [324]

Answer: Biodiversity loss

Explanation:

The biodiversity can be defined as the variety of life forms on earth or any other region. The forests are rich sources of biodiversity. The hunting, poaching, animal trafficking, and other ill-legal related human activities are like to reduce the species richness in forests. As many species are dependent upon other species for food, mate and other requirements for completing the life cycle thus the well-being of the forests will get deteriorated by the loss of biodiversity.
