They have 46, instead of the usual 47.
Answer:
The correct answer is "There are several mechanisms that explain why a hormone have different effects in different cells. These mechanisms include: multiple receptors for the same hormone, a single receptor coupled to different pathways and hormones interacting with receptors for other molecules".
Explanation:
Hormones are among the most versatile molecules of the body, responsible for different biological processes such as human growth, sex development and metabolisms. Hormones are responsible of these complex biological processes because they have drastically different effects in different cells. There are several mechanisms that explain why a hormone have different effects in different cells. These mechanisms include:
- Multiple receptors for the same hormone. For instance, there are multiple receptor for dopamine, a hormone and neurotransmitter responsible for different functions such as movement, memory, sleep and motivation.
- A single receptor coupled to different pathways. Most hormone receptors act with a cascade of signaling. This in consequence results in a single receptor interacting with different molecules having multiple effects.
- Hormones interacting with receptors for other molecules. One example is the action of one metabolite of progesterone named allopregnanolone. This metabolite interacts with GABA-A receptor, which gives it anxiolitic properties.
Answer:
<u>Both of these are necessary to maintain overpopulation of any species in an ecosystem.</u>
Explanation:
- Predation is an act in which one organism eats another organism present in the ecosystem.
- The one eaten is called prey, while the dominant organism is called Predator.
- Since an ecosystem is made up of many organisms along with the natural resources present in it.
- This gives rise to different species competing against one another.
- If one of these species is at a certain advantage, their population will rise uncontrollably hence to prevent this a predator plays a major role.
- On the other hand, competition is a term which describes the harm caused to two different organisms.
- This is due to the limited number of natural resources like food, water or shelter etc.
- Organisms who are less likely to adapt according to the changing environment ultimately die.
- For example, Plant roots over time lessen the amount of nitrogen present in the soil, causing the neighboring plant to die.
Desertification of non desert land can occur due to several reason like,overgrazing, deforestation, tilling of land, drastic climate change and drought that ultimately leads to excessive soil erosion or soil death .
Explanation:
- Desertification is the phenomena in which a productive land becomes completely unproductive, resulting in the loss of any vegetation cover over it.
- Desertification results in degradation of the soil to such an extent that the entire biotic community thriving on it is destroyed.
- Overgrazing, deforestation, tilling of land are major activities that ultimately leads to the washing away of the top soil and leaves the land deserted.
- Some natural causes include climate shifts and drought.
The answer is A. <span>Energy taken from ATP and NADPH is used to make energy-rich carbohydrates.
The light-independent reactions are reactions in which ATP and NADPH is used for the conversion of carbon dioxide into </span><span>energy-rich carbohydrates. So, the carbohydrates are produced and not used up as stated in choice B. Carbon dioxide is neither broken off of molecules with three carbons nor were used up in the light-dependent reactions, leaving choices C. and D. as wrong ones.</span>
