Compare and contrast the modes of action of lipid-soluble and water-soluble hormones.

Biology
1 answer:
viktelen [127]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Lipid soluble hormones:

Lipid soluble hormones are hydrophobic in nature and contains hydrophobic signals. Their receptors are present inside the nucleus and some are limited to cytosol as well. The binding of the receptor to its ligand stimulates the synthesis of new protein. The binding of hormone response element binds to the enhancer  region of DNA. Example: steroid hormones and thyroid hormones.

Water soluble hormones:

Water soluble hormones are hydrophilic in nature and contains hydrophilic signals. Their receptors are present on the cell membrane . The binding of the receptor to its ligand stimulates the signaling cascades mechanism. The binding of hormone to its receptor results in the activation of protein kinase and secondary messenger.

Jenner's successful use of cowpox virus as a vaccine against the smallpox virus was due to the fact that ______. (A) the cowpox
irinina [24]

Answer: option C) cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus

Explanation:

Cowpox is a skin disease that affects cattle. It is caused by an Orthopoxvirus, with lesions occurring principally on the udder and teats of the animals.

Human infection may occur from touching infected cows, and thus giving immunity to smallpox (an acute infection caused by the same poxyvirus, in HUMANS)

So, Jenner's successful use was because cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus

What is a green plant supported by so it can stand up? water osmotic pressure cell walls
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Cell walls

Explanation:

Water is not it, as liquids usually serve no supportive value.

Osmotic pressure is, "the pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis, often used to express the concentration of the solution." (Google Dictionary)

Cell walls are rigid shells on the outside of most plants which helps them stay rigid.

Trisomy 21 can be caused by nondisjunction of chromosome 21, or by inheriting a Robertsonian fusion of chromosome 21 attached to
OLga [1]

Answer:

6 in total; 3 viable and 3 non-viable

Explanation:

Robertsonian translocation is one of the types of structural alteration in chromosomes, in other words, a rearrangement between chromosomes, which can occur between five pairs of acrocentric chromosomes (chromosomes with the centromere close to the end of one of the "arms"): 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22.

An individual who has Robertson's translocation between chromosomes 14 and 21 generally has only 45 chromosomes.

In addition, a carrier of this type of translocation can theoretically produce 6 types of gametes, however 3 of them are not viable.

As for the three remaining gametes: One is normal, and among the other two, one is balanced and the last is unbalanced.

So, theoretically, when combining a normal gamete, the probability of a child with down syndrome being born through these conditions is 1/3 (considering that the probability of producing a certain type of gamete is equal for the three types).
