k0ka [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Hormones act as first messenger but not as second messengers.

Explanation:

Second messenger act as signaling molecule which are secreted in response to various biological signals generated by first messenger such as hormones,neurotransmitters etc.Second messengers include various bioactive molecules such as cyclic AMP(cAMP),cyclic GMP(cGMP),inositol triphosphate(IP3),diacylglycerol(DAG),calcium ions(Ca2+) etc.

         Hormones are extracellular signaling molecules whereas second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Upon nutrient limitation, budding yeast will produce daughter cells less than 20% of the mother cell size. This asymmetric division may select for growth functions that are efficient over a larger range in cell sizes, such as exponential growth. In turn, efficient growth over a large size range lessens the pressure to have precise size control.

Explanation:

In wild-type cells growing in nitrogen-rich medium, the size threshold to enter mitosis is high, and the G1/S size control is cryptic because cell division produces daughter cells with a size greater than the minimum required to initiate S phase. In these conditions, G2 is long and G1 is short. However, the cell size threshold to enter mitosis is greatly reduced when wild-type cells are shifted to medium with a poor nitrogen source, such as minimal medium with proline, isoleucine, or phenylalanine. In these conditions, wild-type cells initiate mitosis at a reduced cell size, generating two daughter cells that are smaller than the critical size threshold required to progress through G1/S

Overlearning"" in habituation (or below-zero habituation) can occur if __________________. A. several different stimuli are used
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

C. habituation trials continue after the response has disappeared.

Explanation:

habituation involves the complete elimination of a particular response (i.e, zero frequency of occurrence). If the stimulus cintinues to be presented for an additional number of trials, then, although no further changes occur, the response will exhibit lower levels of recovery (e.g, spontaneous recovery is reduced) as if the response would have fallen below a zero frequency.
