Some drugs are called "hormone mimics" because they have structures that are similar to hormones that are naturally produced by

the body. Which of the following is a way that a hormone mimic can affect cellular communication?
I.blocking the bodies' naturally produced hormones from transmitting signals
II.causing extra signals to be received by the cells with receptors at the time the drug is given
III.blocking the endocrine system from producing natural hormones

II. causing extra signals.... is the correct answer

This is a common problem in some hyperthyroidism disorders. Proteins that mimic TSH bind to receptors causing the thyroid to produce more T3 and T4.

Answer:

Option II, Causing extra signals to be received by the cells with receptors at the time the drug is given

Explanation:

As the name signifies hormone mimics are the  artificial external hormones that mimic a natural hormone. These hormones being similar in look-alike interacts with the receptors before an original hormone could interact and thus send false signals thereby disrupting the cellular communication.  

Mimic hormones do not inhibit any function of endocrine system, they just take the benefit of their similar looks and thus interact with a receptor before an original hormone could do so.

Therefore, option II is correct

The energy used by cells in their internal processes is called ATP. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

Some info / facts about ATP:

- ATP is an organic chemical.

- ATP is used by cells, but it can also be produced in living organisms.

- ATP is a nucleotide (an organic molecule that builds up DNA or RNA).

What is one type of light that can be used for photosynthesis
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The majority of green light is useful in photosynthesis. The relative quantum efficiency curve (Photo 1) shows how efficiently plants use wavelengths between 300 and 800 nm. Green light is the least efficiently used color of light in the visible spectrum.

Water is the most abundant molecule found in living organisms. Most mammals, in fact, are approximately 70% water by weight. Abo
mario62 [17]
<span>The answer is letter B.

Almost all chemical reactions in life processes occur in solutions with water. It is the most abundant molecule found in living organisms. Most mammals, in fact, are approximately 70% water by weight. About 2/3 of this water is present inside cells. The other 1/3 is present outside cells (e.g in blood plasma or other body fluids).Without water the proper transport and processes that occur with a cell will not efficiently function therefore making the organism inefficient as well. <span> </span></span>
