Answer:

The correct answer would be "Through a receptor on the cell membrane that transduces its signal to the cell's DNA".

Hormones produce their effects mainly by binding to their specific receptors. It leads to the formation of a hormone-receptor complex which results in certain biochemical changes on a target tissue.

These receptors can be of two types of membrane-bound and intracellular receptors.

The hormones which are protein or amine in nature are water soluble and thus can not pass through the lipid bilayer of a cell. They produce their effects mainly by binding to the membrane bound receptors. For example, insulin, growth hormone, Adrenaline, ADH, oxytocin, FSH, TSH et cetera.

Insulin binds to glycoprotein complex receptor present in the cell membrane.

In contrast, a lipid-soluble hormone such as steroidal hormone (estrogen) binds to the intra-cellular receptors as they can easily pass through the lipid bilayer.

Consider this equation: Kinetic Energy = mv2Which of those variables is changing as the skater moves up and down the track?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The changing variables are: v and KE

Explanation:

Given

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Required: What changes?

From the formula above:

KE=Kinetic\ Energy

m = Mass

v = Velocity

m: The mass of the skater is constant.

v: Moving up and down the track may change the velocity of the skater.

KE: When velocity changes, the kinetic energy also changes

So:

The changing variables are: v and KE

What evolutionary advantage does a eukaryotic cell have compared with a prokaryotic cell?
Luden [163]

Answer:

Prokayotes may be defined as the organisms that lacks the nucleus and the membrane bound cell organelle. Eukaryotes have the well defined nucleus and contains the membrane bound cell organelle.

The evolutionary advantage that has been noticed in the eukaryotic cells is the compartmentalization of the cell. The cell compartmentalization separates the cell organelle into the specialized functions. This division of labor increases the efficiency of the cell and regulates the evolution of the complex multi cellular organism.
