Answer:

B. It is a non-steroid hormone.

Explanation:

Hormones can be divided into two categories based on their binding with the receptors: Some hormones are water soluble like peptide hormones and catecholamines, they cannot cross the cell membrane of the target cell and so they bind to the receptors on the plasma membrane. Binding to membrane receptors further leads to activation of intra-cellular enzymes leading to physiological change. These hormones can also be referred as non-steroid hormones. One good example is insulin hormone. Insulin binds to the membrane receptor and brings about the physiological change by activation of protein kinase inside the cell.

The other group of hormones are called steroid hormones and thyroid hormones which can cross the cell membrane and bind to the intra-cellular receptors. The hormone-receptor complex then binds with or activates the specific portion of DNA strand, which in turn initiates transcription and translation of specific genes for bringing the physiological change.

How does chlorine bond with sodium?

timurjin [86]

Both the sodium and the chlorine atoms need to obtain a stable electron configuration, thus, a complete outer shell of eight electrons.

Sodiums electron design is 2,8,1 and chlorines electron setup is 2,8,7. So all together for the two molecules of the two components to get a total external shell of eight electrons, sodium will give one electron to chlorine, and the chlorine particle will acknowledge the gave electron when responded with each other.

This outcomes in the sodium particle having an electron arrangement of 2,8 so is currently total. The chloride particle currently has an electron configuration of 2,8,8.

Since the molecules have moved toward becoming particles to end up stable, the Na+ and the Cl-particles draw in one another because of their contrary charges, which results in an ionic bond.

This is the reason sodium and chlorine cling to each other when responded.

do you think there may be some closely related species of organisms that cannot be identified with a dichotomous key? explain yo

irakobra [83]

Yes. I think that there are some closely related species of organisms that cannot be identified with a dichotomous key.

Dichotomous key is used to classify objects or organisms based on its physical characteristics. Because of that limitation, there are species that may be related according to the dichotomous key but are in fact not or its relation is very minimal whereas there are organisms that may seem unrelated based on their physical characteristics but are actually from the same ancestors.
