The salt in the ocean comes from the rocks on land. The rain that falls onto land caontains some kind of dissovled carbon dioxide from the air. And that causes the water to be a bit acid to carbolic acid. Also rain replenishes freshwater in rivers and streams, so they don’t taste salty. However, the water in the ocean collects all of the salt and minerals from all of the rivers that flow into it.<span>

Fat-soluble hormones pass through the cell membrane easily. Such hormones are referred to as _________________.
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Steroid hormones

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are the second largest groups of hormones. They are made up of small cholestrol units and are fat soluble, therefore they can pass easily through cell membranes.

Function:

They have roles in many vital functions of our body such as salt and water balance, formation of sexual traits,immunity related functions,metabolism and improving health by withstanding injuries.

Mode of action:

  • Steroids being hormones can effect the processes of body in two ways: They affect the transcription of genes involved in synthesis of certain proteins- this is called genomic level action.
  • They can affect by binding with specific membrane receptors like G-proteins, Ion channels and transporters- non genomic level function. Through these ways, they can affect many mechanisms occurring inside the cell.

Hope it helps!

How does Newton’s Law of Gravity and Kepler’s 3 laws help explain the motion of orbiting planets?
butalik [34]

Answer:

motions of the planets in the solar system. They were derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, whose analysis of the observations of the 16th-century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe enabled him to announce his first two laws in the year 1609 and a third law nearly a decade later, in 1618. Kepler himself never numbered these laws or specially distinguished them from his other discoveries.
