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.

What makes angiosperm more advance than gymnosperm​
USPshnik [31]

Answer& Explanation:

Angiosperm is more advanced due to the mechanism of protection it has since developed as opposed to its predecessor, gymnosperm. Angiosperms could be deemed the inventors of animal-mediated pollination or dispersal, whereas gymnosperms mostly depend on wind-mediated pollination (which is far more of a gamble than animal mediated).

1) Angiosperms seeds are enclosed in fruits, which increases the chances of dispersal by either wind, water, or animals. Animals can eat the fruit and disperse the seeds via feces or by brushing the fruit off of their fur coats new areas of the terrain.

2)The development of flowers. Flowers are especially important because depending on the flower it can attract a set species of animals in order for pollination to occur. That species of animal could only focus on those few flowers and would allow the female part of the flower to receive pollen (produced by the male part of the flower) from all over the place. This theory is also applicable to animal mediated fruit dispersal.
