<u>Answer:</u>

The scientists have used the common historical and functional basis of living organisms to create the geological time period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the living things present on earth have gone through the evolutionary process. According to the researches, the oldest fossil found on the earth can be traced 3.5 to 3.7 billion years back, and life today on earth has been evolved from a common ancestor through natural selection or adaptions.

The geological time period shows all the changes in living organisms in different eras eons,  eras, periods, epochs.

The geological time scale is a record and division of everything that has happened on Earth. This is not an absolute scale as we have an incomplete fossil record.

The geological column was created by placing Earth's rocks in order of their relative age. The scale was obtained by dividing the geological column into different time periods through studying large scale changes in the fossil record. This was further tuned with the help of radioactive dating.

Thus the divisions of the geological time are determined by the observed major changes in the Earth's life forms. It is dependent on the history of life on Earth.

What property of a hormone would allow it to pass unassisted through a plasma membrane?
siniylev [52]

Ans.

Hormones are regulatory substances synthesized by various plants and animals and play role in proper growth, development, and maintain homeostasis. Hormones are released by signalling cells and show their actions after binding to specific receptors present on the surface or inside of the target cell.

Hormones, for which receptors are present inside the cells (in cytosol or nucleus) should be hydrophobic in nature. This is because plasma membrane is made up lipid molecules and small, hydrophobic, uncharged molecules can easily pass through this. For example, cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone hormones are lipid-derivatives and receptors for these hormones are present inside the cells.
