Answer:

recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure

Explanation:

In living systems, chemical messengers called hormones are secreted into the body via the bloodstream or ducts by certain glands called endocrine glands e.g pancreas, hypothalamus etc. These hormones are meant to effect a physiological change in certain cells called TARGET CELLS.

In biology, a target cell is any receiving cell that has the ability to respond to signals and messengers like hormones. This responding ability of hormones is due to the possession of specific receptor sites for the specific hormones. The receptor on a particular target cell recognizes that specific hormone's chemical structure, hence, will only respond to it.

For example, an insulin hormone secreted by the pancreas will only be responded to by a target cell that recognizes the chemical structure of the insulin protein using its receptor molecule.

Urgently! <br> Give reasons <br> Fruits vegetables and grains should be washed thoroughly
-BARSIC- [3]

“It is not always possible to find or buy organic fruits and vegetables in today's conditions. In order to purify pesticide residues in foods, the first thing that is usually done at home is to put these foods in vinegar water. However, vinegar water is not effective in reducing pesticide residues, but in reducing the microorganism burden. Studies have done that vinegar water increases the effectiveness of pesticide residues even more. The main purpose of adding vinegar to the washing water is to create an acidic washing environment and to remove the potentially harmful biological factors that can be found on the food in case of inadequate washing. However, many of the pesticides commonly used today cannot be removed from the food due to insufficient washing and are taken into thBe body. This causes pesticides to continue their harmful effects for long periods of time.

<span>2. The inserted DNA circularizes.</span>
<span>3. The DNA is integrated into the host cell DNA. This is done through recombination.</span>
<span>4. Each time the cell replicates, the prophage is reproduced together with the host DNA.</span>
<span>5. The prophage excise itself from the host DNA. But this is very rare.</span>
