Hormones are chemical molecules produced by endocrine glands. One such endocrine gland is the thyroid gland, which synthesizes t

he thyroid hormone, which in turn affects the heart muscles. Which two statements describe the probable reason for the function of the hormone?
1.The cells in the heart have specific receptors that allow for the intake of hormones.
2.The heart and the endocrine glands have the exact same types of cells.
3.All cells make the same types of hormones.
4.Thyroid hormones show their effect on the heart by means of specialized cells. 5.Thyroid cells and cardiac cells have different DNA.

The right answer is 1 and 4

A hormone is a biologically active chemical substance, synthesized by a glandular cell secreted into the internal environment where it circulates, acting remotely and by blood on receptors specific to a target cell. It transmits a message in chemical form and therefore plays a role of messenger in the body.

The emitting organ thus acts at a distance on all of the target organs of the organism or of neighboring organisms of the same species, or even of symbiotic organisms whose receptors are activated in contact with specific hormones (lasting interactions).

α-type receptors of thyroid hormones (TRα, NR1A1) are widely expressed in all cells but particularly cardiac and skeletal cells.

The effects of anaerobic conditions how would anaerobic conditions (when no o2 is present) affect the rate of electron transport
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Anaerobic condition refers to an environmental condition where oxygen is absent. In case of Electron Transport System (ETS) and ATP production, oxygen acts as the final acceptor of electrons. As oxygen is a reactant in ETS and ATP production, unavailability of oxygen can cause no oxidation of the coenzymes or the carriers such as NAPH and FADH2 and no ATP will be produced. Thus, both Electron Transport System and ATP production will stop in the absence of oxygen.

Why is tall grass prairie north america's rarest biome? historically it only occurred in a very tiny region of north america. be
OLEGan [10]
The answer is - because over 90% of this biome has been converted to agriculture.

This biome has been much larger before the development of the agriculture in this part of the USA, but because this biome provided large territories with deep fertile soil and predominantly lowland areas, people started using it for agriculture because it was the most suitable for that. So little by little, the biome was declining and more and more of it was becoming agricultural land.

What would happen if someone stabbed your leg with a syringe full of calcium and injected the calcium directly into your muscle?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Cross-bridges would form in the absence of an action potential from a motor neuron.

Explanation:

The injected calcium ions would bind to troponin. Troponin would make tropomyosin move away from the myosin-binding sites on actin. The presence of free binding sites on the actin would be followed by the contraction cycle. This would include hydrolysis of ATP to energize myosin heads and binding of these heads to actin to form cross-bridges. Therefore, cross-bridge formation would occur without any action potential if calcium ions are injected directly into the muscle.
