The best answer is D.

Hormones are chemical messengers  secreted mostly into blood and also extracellular fluid by specialized tissue of the endocrine system and affect the functioning of other tissues or cells.

Most hormones circulate in blood and come in contact with essentially all cells, but a particular hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, which are termed as target cells to that hormone.

A target cell responds to a particular  hormone because it bears receptors for that hormone.

For example the red blood cells have receptors for the  hormone called insulin which is produced by the pancreas. The red cells are able to take in glucose  when their receptors bind to insulin.

Answer:

The result of loss of topsoil are loss in fertility of soil, loss of water, crop production and hardened soil surface. Therefore, the correct answer to the above question is option A, B, C and D.  

Explanation:

When there is a loss of top layer of soil from the earth by any means, natural or artificial, it is known as soil erosion. The soil from one place gets detached and is transported to another area. Planting more and more trees is the one of the way to stop soil erosion as the roots of the plants hold the soil.  

When the soil from area is removed there is a loss of production in crop due to various reasons. The most fertile part of the soil occurs in the uppermost part.  Therefore, its removal has negative impact.

Which statement best describes this role of plastids in the plant cell?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

A) Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are plastids, cellular organelles inherent in plant cells, which contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, by which they perform photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a process in which, with the help of chlorophyll, solar energy is converted into chemical energy in order to use that chemical energy (ATP) for the synthesis of organic matter from inorganic matter (CO2 and H2O).

At which type of plate boundary do tectonic plates slide past each other?
melamori03 [73]
The answer would be conservative plate boundaries.

They occur where plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or in the same direction but at different speeds. Friction is eventually overcome and the plates slip past in a sudden movement. The shockwaves created produce an earthquake.

I hope this helped and is correct! :)
