Steroid hormone
- The cell signaling pathways induced by the steroid hormones regulate specific genes within the cell's DNA. The hormones and receptor complex act as transcription regulators by increasing or decreasing the synthesis of mRNA molecules from specific genes.
- Steroid hormones are not able to target every cell within the body, so the overall response is slower. They bind to receptors on the cell's surface and the receptors aid in helping the steroid hormones enter the cell.
- Hormones work by binding to protein receptors either inside target cells or on their plasma membranes. The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell.
- Steroids pass into a cell's nucleus, bind to specific receptors and genes and trigger the cell to make proteins.

Osmosis! Osmosis is the process that water diffuses across the plasma membrane.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In a typical energy pyramid the amount of energy that is being transferred is only 10% rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat.
The energy from the sun is converted in the form of chemical energy which is stored in the producers.
10 per cent of this energy is transferred to the next trophic level and rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat. This goes on, there is only a transfer of 10 % energy from the successive levels.
So, if the producers have 200 Kcal/m2/year energy the the primary consumers will have 10% of this energy which is equivalent to 20 Kcal/m2/year and then the secondary consumers will have 10 % of 20 Kcal/m2/year which is equivalent to 2 Kcal/m2/year.
