What is the most likely mechanism by which testosterone functions inside a cell?

Biology

Fed [463]3 years ago

<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.

The mechanical stress applied to bones during moderate physical exercise leads to
Vadim26 [7]

Answer;

-Bone tissue becoming stronger.

The mechanical stress applied to bones during moderate physical exercise leads to bone tissue becoming stronger.

Explanation;

-Bones and muscles both become stronger when muscles push and tug against bones during physical activity.Swimming and bicycling are not weight-bearing activities, so they do not directly help build bones. But swimming and bicycling do help build strong muscles, and having strong muscles helps build strong bones.

-Weight-bearing physical activity causes new bone tissue to form, and this makes bones stronger. This kind of physical activity also makes muscles stronger. Bones and muscles both become stronger when muscles push and tug against bones during physical activity.

Explain how goal of today’s classification system differs from earlier systems
gladu [14]

Classification systems previously were having very different goals than modern classification systems. If we look at old eras, scientists like Aristotle  and Theophrastus  tried to classify organisms on the basis of apparent characteristics, habitat and simple other traits.

Old classification systems had alot of errors and flaws. For example they classified fish and whale in one group because they lived in water, now we know fish is amphibian while whale is mammal.

So we can say that the goal o earlier classification system were just to make groups of organisms on the basis of External features.

Goal of modern classification system:

Modern classification approach was started by Linnaeus. It focuses more on biological delimitation and evolutionary histories than mere external characteristics. It organizes organisms in groups in such a way that grouping reflects their evolutionary relatedness. It is not just specie level but also focuses on sub-specie and population level classification.


Thus modern goal is better in many terms and is more reliable than old classification goals.


Hope it helps!
