Hormones are specific. Explain how a receptor results in the cell being able to respond to only one specific hormone.

1 answer:

6 0

This is because the active site of the receptors on the cell and the hormone are akin to lock and key respectively. The conformations of the receptor’s active site and the hormone allow them to interlock with specificity. The receptor (which is a transmembrane protein) is connected to second messengers inside of the cell that triggers a biochemical cascade in response to the hormone.

An unlabeled hierarchical diagram of various astronomical bodies is shown below. The labels A, B, C, and D can be used to repres

Nady [450]

All planets have these same layers (From deepest to shallowest, inner core then the outer core, then the mantle, and lastly the crust. A good example is the Earth) that is shown in the diagram, even the sun has all the layers I just listed.
But, some planets I can think of are Mars, Venus, Moon, and the Earth of course.

Layer C. sounds like it could also represent Layer D, since they are so close.

P. S. I did my best to try to answer this.
