How do hormones affect only certain cells in the body but not others?

1 answer:

4 0

I<span>f you have studied enzymes its a similar concept. Cells have proteins on the surface of their cell which hormones bind to (called receptors) The receptor must be a complimentary shape to the hormone for it to bind. Only target cells have the receptor with the complimentary shape so only these cells will be affected.</span>

What an object is placed 8 mm from a concave spherical mirror a clear image can be projected on the screen 16 mm in front of me

alexgriva [62]

Concept: The magnification of spherical mirror can be defined by two ways.

(i) In terms of the height of the object and image.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the ratio of the height of the image' $h_{i}$ ' to the height of the object ' $h_{o}$ '. It is denoted by letter 'm'.

Mathematically, it can be written as

$m= \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} ------------(1)$

(ii) In terms of the object's and image's distances.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the negative ratio of the image distance' $d_{i}$ ' to the object distance ' $d_{o}$ '.

Mathematically, it can be written as

$m= - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} ------------(2)$

Now, from equation (1) and (2) we have,

$m = \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} -----------(3)$

Given: Spherical Concave Mirror,

We will consider positive sign for object's and image's distance because both are in front of the mirror.

Object distance $(d_{o}) = + 8 mm$ .

Image distance $(d_{i}) = + 16 mm$

Object's height $(h_{o}) = + 4 mm$

Image's height $(h_{i}) =?$

Now, apply equation (3)

$\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}$

$Or, \frac{h_{i}}{4 mm} = - \frac{+16 mm}{+8 mm}$

Or, hi = - 8 mm

Here; negative sign means, the image will be inverted.

The image's height will be 8 mm.

Which of the following types of technologies has best helped scientists to study very high-energy objects in outer space, such a

erica [24]

Very high-energy objects and events spit out very high-energy photons, so the instrument you need in order to detect them is the X-ray telescope. <em>(C) </em>

Inconveniently, X-ray telescopes only work when they're up in orbit, because X-rays get seriously soaked up in Earth's atmosphere, and most of them never make it down to the surface ... (lucky for us !) .

Which of the following electromagnetic waves is not used for communication?

lutik1710 [3]

Microwaves and radio waves are employed in radio and satellite communications while infrared waves are used in remote controls and infrared features of new phones and other electrons. However, gamma rays have far too much energy and cause damage to the body. They are not used in communication.
The answer is A.

In which of the following situations would convection currents most likely occur?

poizon [28]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated and the cooler liquid (more dense) settles or sinks at the bottom whereas a hotter material (less dense) will rises to the top.

For example, ice being less dense (cooler material) will float in a lake whereas liquid water being more dense will sink at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that situation in which convection currents most likely occur is within the water in a lake as ice forms on the top.
