What type of hormone usually travels in the blood plasma bound to a protein?
zepelin [54]

Answer: Hydrophobic hormones

Explanation:

Hydrophobic hormones are able to diffuse through the membrane and interact with the intracellular receptor.

These hormones travels in the blood plasma which is bound to the plasma protein.

Example: Steroidal hormones are highly hydrophobic in nature.Steroids are sex hormones related to the maturity of the body.

Which of the following species is diamagnetic? View Available Hint(s) Hint 1. How to determine magnetism Which of the following
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cl = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Al = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Fe2+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4

S2- = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. If all electrons in the particle are paired, then the substance made of this particle is diamagnetic.

S2- is diamagnetic because of its paired electrons in the outermost shell.

Explain how the elements that form clouds are conserved during the carbon cycle.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

he carbon cycle is the circulation and transformation of carbon back and forth between living things and the environment. Carbon is an element, something that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. Other examples of elements are oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, iron, and hydrogen. Carbon compounds are present in living things like plants and animals and in nonliving things like rocks and soil. Carbon compounds can exist as solids (such as diamonds or coal), liquids (such as crude oil), or gases (such as carbon dioxide). Carbon is often referred to as the "building block of life" because living things are based on carbon and carbon compounds.

The Carbon CycleSource: NASAClick to enlarge

The amount of carbon on the earth and in Earth's atmosphere is fixed, but that fixed amount of carbon is dynamic, always changing into different carbon compounds and moving between living and nonliving things. Carbon is released to the atmosphere from what are called "carbon sources" and stored in plants, animals, rocks, and water in what are called "carbon sinks." This process occurs in a number of steps. In the first step, through photosynthesis (the process by which plants capture the sun's energy and use it to grow), plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and release oxygen. The carbon dioxide is converted into carbon compounds that make up the body of the plant, which are stored in both the aboveground parts of the plants (shoots and leaves), and the belowground parts (roots). In the next step, animals eat the plants, breath in the oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide created by animals is then available for plants to use in photosynthesis. Carbon stored in plants that are not eaten by animals eventually decomposes after the plants die, and is either released into the atmosphere or stored in the soil.

Large quantities of carbon can be released to the atmosphere thr
