The relatively long half-life of lipid soluble hormones (steroid hormones) compared to water soluble hormones is due in part to

the way that these hormones are passed into the filtrate from the glomerular capillaries. What's the best explanation for why lipid soluble (steroid) hormones have a relatively long half-life?

Answer:

The transport protein-hormone complexes of lipid soluble proteins can not cross the filtration membrane of glomerulus.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are water-insoluble (hydrophobic) in nature. Since blood has watery medium, the plasma, the lipid-soluble hormones travel in blood through transport proteins. The transport protein-hormone complexes are too large to cross the filtration membrane of glomerulus. The impermeability of the filtration membrane of glomerulus for protein-hormone complexes increases the half-life of lipid-soluble proteins.

Each position of a codon can be occupied by one of four nucleotides. What is the minimum number of nucleotides per codon necessa
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The minimum number of nucleotides per codon necessary to specify all 20 amino acids that are found in proteins is <u>3</u>

Explanation:

There are four nucleic acids in the RNA, adenine uracil, guanine, cytosine. Each of them combines in groups of three to give the different amino acids. In total,  there are 64 different combinations of nucleic acids that codify the 20 amino acids that we need for our vital functions.

A 20-year-old male shoots his hand with a nail gun while replacing roofing shingles. Which of the following cell types would be
Leni [432]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. Neutrophils

Explanation:

Neutrophils are the cells that first reach to the infection side and kills the bacteria. Neutrophils comprises most part of WBCs approximately 50-70% of total WBCs. Neutrophils kills the foreign bacteria by engulfing them and this process is called phagocytosis.

The engulfed bacteria is called phagosome and phagosome then fuse with lysosome making phagolysosome. Now fused lysosome secrete lytic enzymes like proteases, lipases and glycosidases which kills the engulfed bacteria by digesting them.

So neutrophils will be the first cells migrates to prevent bacterial infection in the hand of 20 year old boy who shoots his hand with nail gun.

How are thorns and spines related to drought resistance?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

To survive in drought conditions, plants need to decrease transpiration to limit their water loss. Some plants that live in dry conditions have evolved to have smaller leaves and therefore fewer stomata. Extreme examples are plants with leaves that resemble spiky thorns or spines.
