B) This is false, because enzymes do the complete opposite.
Answer:
Atoms of different elements can combine to make new substances. A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. If atoms combine that are of two or more different elements, we call that a compound.

Answer:
recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure
Explanation:
In living systems, chemical messengers called hormones are secreted into the body via the bloodstream or ducts by certain glands called endocrine glands e.g pancreas, hypothalamus etc. These hormones are meant to effect a physiological change in certain cells called TARGET CELLS.
In biology, a target cell is any receiving cell that has the ability to respond to signals and messengers like hormones. This responding ability of hormones is due to the possession of specific receptor sites for the specific hormones. The receptor on a particular target cell recognizes that specific hormone's chemical structure, hence, will only respond to it.
For example, an insulin hormone secreted by the pancreas will only be responded to by a target cell that recognizes the chemical structure of the insulin protein using its receptor molecule.
Answer:
D)
Explanation:
The idea of uniformitarianism is important to understand the changes or history of earth and it states that earth undergoes uniform changes in the past and present.
The idea of uniformitarianism also concludes many things about objects beyond earth which states that the laws and processes remain the same everywhere in the universe and have in the past. Uniformitarianism says that rate of the process remains uniform through time.
Hence, the correct option is "D)"
Answer:
Calcitonin
Explanation:
Calcitonin hormone is released by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland. This hormone works against the parathyroid hormone.
Calcitonin hormone regulates the level of calcium by decreasing the blood calcium level. This hormone inhibits the osteoclast activity of the cells and decreases the absorption of calcium in pregnant women and child. Hence, calacitonin decreases plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
