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.

Rainforest deforestation is contributing to _______.

Nana76 [90]

The correct answer is letter A.

Rainforest deforestation is contributing to a decline in global biodiversity. Irresponsible logging causes the major destruction of many habitats. As a result, many living organisms that are thriving within these forests are displaced or are killed because they no longer have any place where they can thrive and live in peace with their respective species. Deforestation accounts for most of the major catastrophic natural events that we are experiencing at present.

Suppose you found a fossil of a clam shell what can you conclude about the once-living organism and how it became a fossil?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Identifying the fossil is the first step. We have already identified this fossil as a clamshell. We know clam are from the sea, but if you didn't, you could conclude this from knowing where you found the fossil (likely near the beach). Discovering where it is can also lead you to a conclusion on it's arrival as a fossil, perhaps washed up on shore or buried by an animal.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The production of ATPs for skeletal muscle contraction depends on the conditions that the muscles are exposed to.

In presence of abundant oxygen, to the cells Aerobic respiration-cellular respiration is the most ideal. 32 ATPs and 4 C02 are produced as by-products during the process as by products majorly two C02 from each of the 2 acetyl Co A that enters the kerb's cycle.

Likewise direct phosphoryaltion of ADP to ATP gives 32.0 kj/mol of heat liberated but no C02 was produced. This takes place during chemiosmosis. with 28ATPs produced.

In absence of oxygen, anaerobic respiration of skeletal muscles produced ATPs from glycolysis, heat and 2C<u>02 as products, but not as by-product</u>.Through alcoholic fermentation pathway.

Therefore ,the correct answer is Aerobic respiration, because it gives out C02 which is a by-product, released out of the body as waste from the lungs,and not use up in the body.

What is the point at which DNA strand is unzipped so that it can form new complimentary strands?

Sloan [31]

DNA is unzipped by helicase at the origin of replication. There are several origins of replications in eukaryotic DNA replication, while only one in prokaryotic replication.
