Answer:
1. Signaling molecule
2. Signaling receptors
Explanation:
Hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc. serve the function of signaling molecules for cells. These molecules are released by one cell and bind to the receptors present on/in the target cells to elicit the desired response. Thereby, the signaling molecules serve in cell-cell communication.
For example, insulin hormone synthesized and released from beta cells of pancreas binds to its cell surface receptors present on the surfaces of liver cells and muscle cells to stimulate the uptake of the glucose from the blood.
Likewise, neurotransmitters released from the presynaptic neuron bind to receptors present on the membrane of postsynaptic neuron and serve to carry the nerve impulse to the postsynaptic neuron.
Electron pairs , because the atoms become stable by gaining the electron pairs
Answer:
Diffusion
Explanation:
Oxygen molecules can travel through the phospholipid bilayer using diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules travel from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
Answer:
The correct matches are given as follows:
a. Amylase
- Starch
b. Pepsin
- Protein
c. Lipase- fats
Explanation:
The digestion can be defined as the breaking down of the complex compounds of food into simpler compounds for their better absorption. There are various enzyme that help in the process of digestion. Amylase, pepsin, and lipase are enzymes. The amylase is an enzyme responsible for breakdown of starch. The pepsin is responsible for the breakdown of protein into amino acids. The lipase is responsible for breakdown of fats.
