Answer:E. Down-regulation

Explanation:Cells typically up or down  regulate  depending on  the concentration of a hormone levels. When  there is a excessive  concentration of a hormone in the blood stream, the cell decreases the number of receptors reducing  the interaction  with that hormone, Also, when there is excessive  hormone reduction, the  target cells activate to increase their number of receptors.

Down  regulation occurs by the the deactivating or degrading of target cells to reduce the number of  receptors due to their sensitivity to a particular excess hormone.

Give three reasons how ionic and covalent bonds are different
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Hey

Explanation:

Covalent bonds and ionic bonds are two different ways of how elements bond to each other. The main difference between covalent and ionic bonds is that ionic bonds occur between two species which are electrostatically attracted towards each other, whereas covalent bonds occur covalently through the sharing of electrons between their outer shells.

What structures are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells?
solong [7]

There are three major structures that are found in plant cells that aren't found in animal cells. These are chloroplasts, (which is where the process photosynthesis takes place), a cell wall (which keeps the structure of the cell), and a large central vacuole,  (which stores extra food/water). Don't make the mistake, though.  Animal cells have vacuoles, but they are just smaller and not as important, because they have a different way of excreting waste, which plant cells cannot do.
