Answer: 1. Lipophobic

              2.Thyroid

              3.lipophilic

Explanation:

 Chemical messengers can be classified by their chemical characteristics including their solubility in water and their chemical structure.  

Depending on their solubility in water they can be classified in two groups:

  • Hydrophobic (lipophilic) - Molecules are lipid soluble and can easily cross the plasma membrane.

  • Hydrophilic (lipophobic) - Molecules that are water soluble and do not readily cross the plasma membrane.

Depending on the chemical structure  

Amino Acids are lipophobic.

Amines are derived from amino acids and contain an amine group (-NH2, known as the amino group). An important group of these are the catecholamines which contain a 6 carbon ring (catechol) and are derived from tyrosine. These include dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. The thyroid hormone is derived from tyrosine.  All except thyroid hormones are hydrophilic. The thyroid hormone is lipophilic (hidrophobic)

worty [1.4K]

In the diagnostic statement "Chronic allergic sinusitis due to animal dander",the modifying terms are;

CHRONIC AND ALLERGIC.

A diagnostic statement states the potential and actual health problem of a client. These client's problems are the ones the nurse or the person making the diagnosis can actually identify easily and also for which order and implement nursing interventions inorder to maintain the health status if the client,and to eliminate, prevent or rather reduce changes and alterations in the patient's health status.

Organic molecules are sometimes found within meteorites that crash into Earth. Which meteorite condition in space is similar to
nevsk [136]

The presence of inorganic molecules is the meteorite condition in space similar to what was likely present in Earth's early atmosphere.  

The earth initial atmosphere in its early form was too reducing and it was made up entirely of gases such as carbon monoxide, ammonia, methane, nitrogen and other gases.

This atmosphere did not have free oxygen, since it was the result of the mixture of metals, hydrogen and other chemical elements.

The high temperatures, ultraviolet rays and electrical discharges in the early atmosphere would have caused chemical reactions of the elements to form primitive organic molecules.

Meteorites are fragments of solid matter that contain a record of the chemical substances that existed in the early Solar System.

The most predominant gases still found in the space are hydrogen and helium.

Therefore, we can conclude that hydrogen and the presence of inorganic molecules are the initial elements that make up the Earth's early atmosphere and that they are conditions that are present in the space and so in the formation of meteorites.
