Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks, partly because these shells are usually made of calcium carbonate, and endure better than shells made of chitin. Apart from mollusk shells, other shells that can be found on beaches are those of barnacles, horseshoe crabs and brachiopods.

saw5 [17]

The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.
