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.

Which is correct about dna replication? dna polymerase can build dna from scratch. dna polymerase adds nucleotides in the 3' to
Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is: C) the place where the parent DNA becomes unzipped during DNA replication is called the replication fork.


DNA Polymerase doesn't build DNA from scratch, rather it adds the correct nucleotides to the complementary parent strand.


DNA Polymerase adds nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction, not the 3' to 5' direction.


DNA is made semiconservatively, meaning that there is a template strand from the parent DNA with a complementary strand being the new daughter strand.


The strand that is made continuously is the leading strand. The lagging strand is not made continuously, as it requires the use of Okazaki fragments.
