<span>Testosterone achieves his effect by binding to his androgen receptor (nuclear). Because testosterone is steroid hormone (derived from cholesterol), it has a possibility to free diffuse through the cell membrane. When testosterone binds, the receptor undergoes a structural change which allows it to move into the cell nucleus and dimerize. Receptor dimer than binds directly to the specific sequence of the DNA called hormone response element (HRE) which results in regulation of gene expression.</span>

Testosterone functions inside a cell by binding with a receptor protein that enters the nucleus and activates specific genes. Testosterone is the principle male sex hormones in mammals, birds and other vertebrates. Its effects are exerted by; Testosterone can activate the androgen receptor itself or after conversion to 5 alpha dihydrotestosterone by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Plants are the only photosynthetic organisms to have leaves (and not all plants have leaves). A leaf may be viewed as a solar collector crammed full of photosynthetic cells.

The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf.

A hypertonic solution has:
BaLLatris [955]

A hypertonic solution has:

Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>What is hypertonic solution?</h3>
  1. The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
  2. A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
  3. When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
  4. An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.

Thus, option "A" is correct.
