The above statement is true, that all the hormones from the anterior pituitary affect their target cells via cyclic AMP second messenger system except the growth hormone. Cyclic AMP is an important second messenger that is formed when the membrane enzyme adenylyl cyclase is activated by the alpha sub unit of a G protein. The Cyclic AMP in turn then goes on to activate specific proteins. The hormone which is the first messenger binds to receptor , the receptor then activates G protein, the alpha sub unit of G protein activates adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cAMP which then activates protein kinases.

Infer how an organism, like a polar bear, might interact with each of earth’s 5 spheres.

viva [34]

The five earth's spheres are biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere and lithosphere.

An organism like polar bear might react with each of the sphere in the following way: The bear has its habitat on the land (lithosphere), he eat grasses and other small animals found in the biosphere. It drinks water, which is part of the hydrosphere. It breaths in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Its wastes is a source of food to decomposers, ( in the geosphere) which breaks it down for plants' use
