Answer:

The correct answer is option B. It bind to a receptor in the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Hormones can be aminoacid based hormones (peptide or amine) or the steroid base hormones on the basis of their nature. Amino acid based proteins are molecules that are proteins,

Peptide hormones are the protein or peptide molecule that release in blood by the exocytosis in the form of preprohormones that mature later and bind to the receptor present on the surface of the plasma membrane of the target cell. The binding of the peptide hormone to the receptors a secondary messenger shows up in the cytoplasm.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. It binds to a receptor in the plasma membrane.

Historically, the earth’s ocean had a ph of 8.2. In recent years it dropped to 8.1. How might this affect the ocean environment
Mrac [35]
Well with the ph above 7 that means the water is more of a base due to the salt within the water.  the decrease in the ph is due to gloabal warming and the melting of ice which is somewhat diluting the water more.  the wildlife within the ocean has been there since you or i so some creatures have developed a very specific habbitat and less salt withing the water could have effects on them.  one such instace is if the organism needs a lot of salt.  a decrease in salt would mean that their cells would bloat with water until they explode. this would obviously hurt the species as a whole and in turn effect the whole food chain.
