Answer: Transcription factors

Explanation:  

The dioxin enters the blood stream and the fat cells and liver cells store it.

While moving inside the cell the dioxin binds to the protein called Aryl hydrocarbon which then binds to the second receptor.  

The complex is then carried to the nucleus of the cell. This tends to on and off certain genes.

This turning on and off of the genes in the cell can lead to serious diseases like cancer, decreased immune function, et cetera.

A renewable resource is that natural resource that is replenished by natural processes at a rate comparable to its rate of consumption by humans or other users.

This suggests that renewable resources have an unlimited supply and will likely not be exhausted. This is unlike the non-renewable counterparts like crude oil, gas etc.

Therefore, the statement that is true about renewable energy resources is that there are endless supplies of all renewable energy resources.

Why do warmer and wetter biomes have higher net primary productivity
Andrej [43]
<span>biomes vary in their rates of net primary production-biomass that remains after cellular respiration limited by sunlight and nutrients available In general, warmer and wetter biomes have higher net primary productivity than colder and drier biomes. The reason for this trend is that plants require sunlight, water, and temperatures warm enough to grow. This is true even in aquatic ecosystems, where sunlight and the availability of nutrients determine the level of net primary productivity.</span>
