Rachel Carson played a key role in the birth of environmentalism in the 20th century.

She became increasingly aware of the harmful facts of insecticide DDT on the environment. This compelled her to write her most famous work Silent Spring and defending herself against attacks from commercial interests.

The book also played an influential part in persuading governments to ban or heavily restrict the use of DDT and similar chemicals that persist in the environment.

How a change in glycoproteins affects a cell’s ability to maintain homeostasis
Licemer1 [7]

Explanation:

Most of the cell surface receptors and glycoproteins. These glycoproteins have active sites that recognize specific signals, like hormones, that initiate secondary signaling pathways inside of the cell, in response to the external signal. This is how cells respond to environmental stimuli.

If a change in glycoproteins makes them unable to bind signaling molecules (like hormones) or makes them permanently bind these molecules, there will definitely be a defect in how the cell responds to external stimuli.  The cell will be, for example, be unable to respond to insulin in case of elevated blood sugar levels as is the case with diabetics.

Ira Lisetskai [31]
