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>

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al

Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire $(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg$
