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.

What can you say about the environments of these widely seperated layers
Alika [10]

Answer:

This means that the two separate rocks were once part of one piece of rock. These layers got separated most probably by continental drift as a result of tectonic plate movements. An example of such a fossil is the Mesosaurus, a freshwater crocodile-like reptile, that is found in Southern Africa and Eastern South America continents- that means they were once one land mass.

The environment in these two separate layers would most likely be different. As the layers drift apart from each other , they drift across latitudes that are determinants of climate in a region. Therefore, even the organisms in these two rock layers will evolve differently (even though they will share a common ancestor) in adaptation to respective environments – this is called allopatric speciation.

A skeleton muscle is a composition of several components bundled one into the other.
Ivan

Answer:

An individual skeletal muscle may be made up of hundreds, or even thousands, of muscle fibers bundled together and wrapped in a connective tissue covering. Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!Which example is not a biomass energy source?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The Sun is not a biomass energy source.

Explanation:

Biomass is plant or animal material used for energy production. The Sun is neither plan nor animal material.  Paper is produced by wood, wood chips also, manure is from animals so all those are a biomass energy source.
