Answer:

The binding of chemical messengers to receptors often results in a shape change, which affects receptor function.

Explanation:

Binding of specific chemical messengers to the corresponding receptors of target cells brings about change in the shape of the receptors. This structural change in the receptor results in the generation of the desired response. It reflects how the form and specific configuration of substances or biomolecules affect their functions.

For example, binding of neurotransmitters to the receptors present on neurons opens the associated ligand-gated ion channels to allow the movement of specific ions through it. In the absence of bound ligand, these channels are present in a closed conformation.

Bone strength is influenced by changes in the structure (size and shape) and composition [cortical (compact) bone, trabecular (sponge-like) bone, amount of cartilage] of the bone. 6 A high peak mass at a young age and the decrease of bone loss at a later age are two ways to reduce osteoporosis risk.

9966 [12]

Answer:

4. Membrane and proteins secreted by the cell

Explanation:

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is one of the organelle that makes up the endomembrane system of eukaryotes. The ER is of two types viz: rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).

The RER is called "rough" because of the ribosome organelles that are attached to its surface. The attachment of this ribosomes (site of protein synthesis) also defines its function. The RER is principally involved in the production of protein. Hence, the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum functions mainly in the production of membrane and proteins secreted by the cell.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:  Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle.

Explanation:

Plates interact at three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent and transform. Most of the Earth's geologic activity takes place at plate boundaries.
