Answer:

(B) a decrease in transcriptional activity of certain genes

Explanation:

Testosterone is a steroid hormone, for which receptors are present inside the cell as it can easily pass the lipid bilayer. Like other steroid hormones, testosterone shows its affects by modulating transcription of its responsive genes.

After binding with receptor, it makes a hormone-receptor complex that binds with promoters of its responsive genes. If a drug is inhibiting response of testosterone, it must be decreasing the transcriptional activity of some genes, which are modulated by testosterone.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

How is fermenation different from cellular respiration
vichka [17]

Answer:

Ok, my first time answering a question!

Explanation:

Normally, your body uses cellular respiration to make ATP.

Cellular respiration needs oxygen to function.

When you exercise or exert yourself, you may begin to run out of oxygen.

Your body then begins fermentation.

Fermentation then makes it so energy can be released from glucose even though oxygen is not available.

Fermentation will also produce ATP, just like cellular respiration.

Hope this helps! :)
