Explain why hormones are able to travel through the body but only affect certain cells.​

Biology
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Hormones are able to travel the body but only affect certain cells because only those target cells have receptors for that particular hormone. Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of target cells. Others enter the cells and bind to receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus.

The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucro
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is: the level of liquid in Side A will rise.

Explanation:

  • Sucrose is formed of two molecules of glucose but the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • The given membrane is said to be permeable to water and glucose.
  • Through a semi-permeable membrane, molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to another region where its concentration is low by the process of diffusion until its concentration in the two regions becomes equal. This phenomenon is known as Osmosis.
  • Concentration gradient of a molecule can be defined as the difference in the concentration of the molecule in two different regions separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
  • Considering glucose, the concentration of glucose is low in side A (1M) and high in side B (2M), so it will tend to move from side B to side A down its concentration gradient.
  • Considering sucrose, although its concentration is high in side A (2M) but low in side B (1M), it is unable to move as the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • Water tend to move from a region where the concentration of solute is low (or water concentration is high) to a region where the concentration of solute is high (or water concentration is low).
  • Due to the movement of glucose from side B to side A, the concentration of total solute concentration becomes high in side A as compared to side B. Therefore, water would move from side B to side A.
  • Hence the level of liquid in Side A will rise after sometime.

What happens during mitosiss?
Montano1993 [528]
Oh god, large question. My eyes hurt... Mitosis is the formation of 2 identical daughter cells (cell division). Mitosis have 5 phrases: interphase, prometaphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase,  telophase and cytokinesis. The chromosomes are duplicated during the cell life just before mitosis since mitosis states that it is the splitting of the cells so duplicating the chromosomes isn't actually mitosis but it is still important to mitosis. Anyway, in interphase, the nucleolus starts to disappear, the microtubule starts to form and the chromosomes start to condense. In pro metaphase, some of the microtubule connect to the centromere, the cell membrane fully disappear and the chromosomes finishes condensing. In metaphase, the chromosomes are pulled to the center of the cell via by the contraction of the spindles and 2 spindles are connected to each of the kinetochores. In anaphase, the chromatids are separated via by the spindles. In Telophase, the nuclear membrane reappears, the chromosomes un-condenses and the micro tubal breaks down. In Cytokinesis, the cell membrane in one cell breaks apart from the other cell forming 2 daughter cells or in plant cells, another cell wall is formed. (this process can differ fro each different organism)

What is causing us to lose species on a daily basis?
Hatshy [7]
Well, pollution is probably the main reason, but i think all of them are reasons why animals are dying off, if there isn't any choice for all of them, then your best bet would be to do a, pollution.
