In humans, the hormone testosterone enters cells and binds to specific proteins, which in turn bind to specific sites on the cel

Crank

Answer:

They act to regulate the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive)

Explanation:

Testosterone is a reproductive hormone in male humans. Testosterone as well as its closely related hormones e.g dihydrotestosterone, all belong to a class of hormones called "Androgens".

Androgens operate by entering into a cell and binds with specific androgen-receptor proteins (AR proteins). This contact activates the AR proteins, forming an androgen-receptor complex.

This complex then translocates into the nucleus of specific cells to bind to the DNA. Once it binds, it either inhibits or promotes the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive). Hence, AR proteins are transcription factors because they play a significant role in regulating transcription of specific genes i.e. turning 'on' or 'off' of specific genes.

This process helps to direct the development of male sexual characteristics.

<h3>Answer;</h3>

absorbed by Earth’s core

When energy from the sun reaches Earth, it is not absorbed by Earth's core.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

The energy from the sun reaches the earth, such that 23 percent of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere by water vapor, dust and ozone.
48 percent of the solar energy is absorbed by the earth's surface, this translates to 71 percent of the energy which is absorbed by the systems of the Earth.
The remaining 29 percent is reflected back to space by clouds, atmospheric particles etc.
