Explanation:

Amino acid-based hormones use a second messenger, cyclic AMP, but steroid hormones <u>complex inside the nucleus with a receptor and DNA to initiate protein synthesis</u>

Further explanation:

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid. They bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis.

The endocrine system includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions. The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function.

Steroid hormones are mainly derived from the steroid molecule. They contain two types, sex steroids, and corticosteroids. Based on the receptors they bind to, these are further subdivided into:

mineralocorticoids
androgens
glucocorticoids
estrogens
progestogens

They traverse the cell membrane and bind to intracellular reptors, forming complexes that regulate or switch on gene expression. The complex joins with hormone response elements, which are unique sequences of DNA to jump-start the transcription process within the cell.

1. What was the independent variable in this lab? *

Lelechka [254]

I can’t give you a specific answer because I’m not sure what your lab is. However, an independent variable is the variable that is changed, the dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the change, and the constant variables are those which remain the same throughout the entire experiment.

Following the development of a brain tumor, Jerome starts to exhibit impulsive behavior with little regard for right or wrong. H

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) "orbitofrontal cortex".

Explanation:

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is the region of the brain responsible of the cognitive process of decision-making. The OFC is involved in the senses of award and remorse based on the results of decision making actions. In this case Jerome exhibits impulsive behavior that lead him to break a man's nose for no reason and had no remorse for doing so. It is likely that Jerome has a tumor in the OFC, which affects his decision making judgement and his feeling of right and wrong.
