Answer:

target cell

Explanation:

Cell communication includes one or more signaling cells and the target cell. Signaling cells produce signals. In the case of chemical signaling, the signaling cells produce chemical signals such as hormones or neurotransmitters or ligands. Target cells are the cells that respond to a specific signal produced by the signaling cell.

To receive and respond towards the signal, the target cells produce receptors where the signaling molecules bind to produce the desired effects in the target cells. For instance, liver and muscle cells are one of the primary target cells for the pancreatic hormone insulin.

Answer: Option B

Target cell is the cell that is capable of receiving signals through receptors.

Explanation:

Target cells are also known as codocytes are red blood cells that appear as shooting target. They are capable of receiving signals from receptor because they have a receptor that can bind to ligands. The ligand bind to the receptor and cause a signaling or information to be pass inside the cell leading to responses.

I was sitting in my room, my eyes glued to the flashing screen, the palm of my hands slick with sweat as I struggled to hold onto the controller, the smooth surface slipping every second or so. I could barely hear anything, but the blaring of the sound effects that blasted through my room, shutting out any sound, including the knock on my door from my mother. I started, dropping the controller, my eyes wide. I snapped "What!" at my mother, her face contorting into pinched irritation. "Dinner is ready." She said, turning away to head back down the stairs. My eyes shifted to the open doorway, the nostrils of my nose flaring as I took in the scent of food. I could smell spices, and the humid stench of steam. My stomach growled and I quickly shot up from the floor and thundered down the stairs, leaping into the kitchen to find the source of the heavenly smells that wafted in my direction. I spotted turkey, garnished with lemon and green herbs, and sitting beside it, a large bowl of something off-white. It looked like mashed potatoes. I hastily took a seat and set my elbows upon the wooden surface of the table, my mother scolding me over her shoulder as she divided place settings. "Elbows off, please." She piped, pulling out her own chair with an ear splintering squeal that grated my nerves, causing my teeth to grind together. My mother passed a plate of green beans towards me, and I quickly scooped them onto my own plate, then going for the turkey, the mashed potatoes added last. With no time for prayer, I dug in, the tinges of my fork scraping against the plates clay surface as I scooped a fork full of beans up, and shoved it into my mouth. It tasted bland, with the barest hint of salt. I swallowed, cringing as it went down and took a bite of the mashed potatoes. Of course it was delicious. They were light, buttered perfectly. I gave a small sound of appreciation and went for the turkey last. I stabbed a piece of meat and popped it into my mouth, the texture odd. Hard to describe really. It was tough, but also soft enough to bite into, and with lemon added into it, it was tangy, making my mouth salivate. My mom smiled at the expression my face, nearly laughing. I made a face at her and swallowed, going in for another bite.

Which of the following best describes the structure of a mushroom that you observe above the ground?
Alex Ar [27]

The right answer is Fruiting type.

The sporophore (literally "spore carrier"), also called Fruitbodies, is the reproductive system of the so-called superior mushrooms. It is, in popular language, the organ of the "fructification" of the mushroom mycelium. It contains sporocysts (basid and asci) that differentiate in the hymenium and produce spores in various forms. It is present in the mushroom's cap.

Which of the following is NOT one of the three major types of stimuli to trigger endocrine glands to manufacture and release the
almond37 [142]

Answer:

option C. permissive stimuli

Explanation:

The three major kinds of stimulus that triggers the endocrine glands to synthesize and release hormones are humoral stimuli, hormonal stimuli and neural stimuli. The humoral stimulus regulates the release of hormones with the changes in the concentration of extracellular fluids. For example, the increase of glucose concentration in blood causes pancreas to release hormone insulin.

The hormonal stimuli allows secretion of hormone only with the secretion of any other hormone. The hypothalamus gland secretions allows the anterior pituitary gland to secrete hormones. The release of thyroid hormone is an example of hormonal stimuli.

The neural stimuli allows the production of hormones directly from the glands. The production of epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones are the example of neural stimuli. Thus, option C is correct.

Which two structures are found ONLY in plant cells?
Naya [18.7K]


The best answer is  C.

Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall and have chloroplasts whereas animal cell do not.

The cell wall is  a covering that is rigid whose main purpose is to protect the cell and give structural support as well shape to the plant cell. The equivalent of a cell wall in animal cell is the cell membrane, which has distinct differences from the plant  cell wall.

Chloroplasts are plant  cell organelles which carry out photosynthesis by which plants make their own food. These are absent from animal cells because animals do not make their own food, they ingest it from external sources.
