Answer:

receptor binding

Explanation:

Hormones are able to act specifically on target cells through receptor binding. This process enables target cells to react to a specific hormone only. The cells have hormone receptors within or on their surface which permits the specific hormone to act on it, thereby initiating a series of functions of the particular cell that has the hormone receptor. For example, thyroid receptors respond to thyroid-stimulating hormone.

What makes a tunicate more complicated than a sea sponge?

Umnica [9.8K]

Given what we know, we can confirm that in summary, what makes a tunicate more complicated than a sea sponge is cellular differentiation.

<h3>What is cellular differentiation?</h3>

This is what we call the cells ability to specialize itself into a specific cell type. Some examples of this in humans include:

Heart cells
Digestive cells
Reproductive cells

etc.

Due to this, tunicates have evolved different tissues, organs, and complete cell types, making them much more complicated organisms than sea sponges.

Therefore, we can confirm that due to the multiple tissues, organs, and systems developed through cellular differentiation, tunicates have become more complicated than sea sponges.

In the winter, icy roads are often salted to remove the ice and make them less slippery. grasses and other herbaceous plants oft

Bad White [126]

Grass often dies near roads that have been <span>salted to remove ice during the winter because the salt spread out into layer of the grass </span>cell. Then the water goes into the ice because the grass is attracted to the salty ice water. Hence, this dehydrates the plant cell by removing excess water, so it dies since it can no longer perform the proper cell function.<span> </span>

Use the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to place the protein creation steps below in the correct order. Ribosome attaches to the mRNA.

kirza4 [7]

Answer: The correct sequence for the protein creation is as follows-

1) Information is transcribed in DNA to mRNA.

2) mRNA leaves the nucleus.

3) Ribosome attaches to the mRNA.

4) tRNA anticodon carries an amino acid that compliments the mRNA codon.

5) The chain of amino acids forms a protein.

According to the Central Dogma, the genetic information is transferred from DNA to mRNA to Proteins.

The first step is transcription in which DNA is converted to mRNA with the help of enzyme RNA polymerase. In eukaryotic cells, this process occurs in the nucleus.

This is followed by translation, which takes place in the cytoplasm when mRNA leaves the nucleus.

Ribosomes are the specialized organelles, which act as the site for protein synthesis ( translation).

Ribosomes attach to the mRNA. tRNA brings amino acid, which has anticodon complementary to the codon present in the mRNA. A chain of amino acids is thus synthesized, which is called Protein.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The question as the options lacking but based on the question we can infer the ANSWER

Based on the results of the experiment we can best say that urea will disrupt the function of the certain enzyme and that when the urea is removed the enzyme regained its function.

Explanation:

Denaturation is the term used to describe urea effect on the enzymes as it inactivates it by affecting it's secondary and tertiary function. In the process it’s 3D structural conformation is altered.
