Why does testosterone, a lipid-soluble signal ing molecule that crosses the membranes of all cells, affect only target cells? (A

) Only target cells retain the appropriate genes regulated by testosterone. (B) Intracellular receptors for testosterone are present only in target cells. (C) Only target cells possess the cytosolic enzymes that transduce the signal from testosterone to adenylyl cyclase. (D) Only in target cells is testosterone able to initiate the phosphorylation cascade leading to activated transcription factor.

Testosterone is a lipid-soluble signaling molecule that crosses the membranes of all cells and affects only target cells because intracellular receptors for testosterone are present only in target cells.

Testosterone is the male sex or gamete hormone which is made in the male testicles. Testosterone hormone levels are very important to normal male sexual development and its functions.

Therefore, testosterone signals can be translated directly to changes in gene expression, and this hormone activates kinases that regulate processes required to maintain spermatogenesis as this is lipid-soluble, so it does not require any molecular event for transmission. They can dissolve in the body and can travel through the cell membranes easily.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.

What is evidence that wood contains stored energy?
marin [14]

Answer:

The stored energy in the wood is chemical energy, meaning that it can be released by a chemical reaction (burning). It's closely related to those fossil fuel energies, because the chemical energy was formed by photosynthesis, using energy from sunlight as the input.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- light independent reaction or Calvin cycle

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis takes place in the two phases: light-dependent and light-independent phase.

The light-dependent phase form NADPH  and NADPH which are utilized during the light-independent phase to synthesise glucose molecule.

The light-independent phase occurs in the cytosol or stroma of the chloroplast in dark conditions which help synthesize the glucose molecules. The light-independent reaction is also known as the Calvin cycle which forms the glucose molecules in three steps- carboxylation, reduction and regeneration.

Thus, the Calvin cycle is the correct answer.
