Cortisol is a steroid hormone that can pass through the plasma membrane. Complete the flowchart describing the interaction of co
rtisol with intracellular receptors. 1. Cortisol passes through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm.
2. Cortisol-receptor complex forms in the cytoplasm.
3. Cortisol-receptor complex enters the nucleus where it binds to genes.
4. Cortisol-receptor complex acts as a transcription factor
5. The transcribed mRNA is translated into a specific protein.
Cortisol is a hormone that is considered as an endogenous mineralocorticoid that activates the sympathetic nervous system, it is said that its peak in blood in the body respects a schedule and it is at dawn, which makes us wake up at dawn.
This hormone once it diffuses through the cell membrane has its receptor and its action at the nuclear level, this is thanks to its butterflies properties that helps it to better diffuse the membranes and reach a binding site at the nuclear level. In this way it interferes with genetic coding and protein expression.
The Old World monkeys (including baboons) inhabit Africa and Asia, and are more closely related to apes. They are generally larger than New World monkeys, have more elongated faces, and have a tail that is not "prehensile".
The limiting factor on the population of Arctic foxes is density-dependent. In population ecology, density-dependent processes happen when population growth rates are regulated by the density of a population. Density-dependent factors are factors where the effects on the size or growth of a population vary with the density of the population itself.
