Answer:

Ligand-receptor interaction is the first interaction that triggers cell signalling.

Ligands are the hormones, drugs or neurotransmitters that specifically bind with receptors present in cell surface to initiate cell signalling. Ligand binding to the receptor is reversible. Binding of the ligand to the receptor can activate or inactivate receptor. Activation may lead to cell signalling pathways. Inside cells, there are secondary molecules which on activation starts a cascade of reactions. which in-turn regulate the function of the ligand molecule.

At first, the activated receptor relates with G proteins molecules in the cell.

before the ultimate physiological effect of the ligand on the cell's behavior is produced Therefore, the cellular signaling starts as soon as the first messenger (the ligand) binds to its receptor.

hope this helps

What are the two main functions of mitosis?
Nikolay [14]

Mitosis helps in the growth by means of hyperplasia. It also helps in reproduction in single celled organisms.

Neuron and Red Blood Cells doesn't undergo cell division once formed.

Osteoblasts help in forming new bones and joining old ones after there's a fracture in bone.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells. It helps in growth of multicellular organisms as well as reproduction in single celled organisms.

The Red blood cells are formed from the bone marrow megakaryocytes and never undergo mitosis. Same are the neurons which are formed from stem cells and never undergo cell division.

The osteoblasts come into action as the bone breaks. They diposit new calcium compounds between the broken part of bones. This leads to irregular growth of bones between them which is then remoulded and brought back to shape by osteoclasts and osteocytes.

Was I correct? <br><br> The question was “What is the best solution for maintaining biodiversity?”
hoa [83]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Indeed, <u>the best solution for maintaining biodiversity is to conserve the biodiversity of every ecosystem, since all ecosystems have benefits to humans and the earth</u>.

Ecosystems might vary in the kind of services they render to the planet or humans in general. For example, the forest ecosystems supply humans with the necessary timber and wood for construction purposes and sequestrate carbon/produce oxygen from and to the environment respectively. Thus, the forest ecosystem plays a huge role in maintaining the air quality of the planet in addition to several other services.

The variation in the services the different ecosystems render to the human population and the planet necessitates that the biodiversity of every one of them be conserved. Prioritizing the conservation of one over the other will result in losing some of the services provided as a result of loss of biodiversity.
