Different body cells can respond differently to the same peptide hormones because _____.

Biology
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Activation of various components of the signal transduction pathway generates a varied response to the same hormone by different body cells.

Explanation:

Peptide hormones are water-soluble hormones and mostly have cell surface receptors present at the membranes of the target cells. Binding of these hormones to their cell surface receptors activates another messenger molecule present in the cytoplasm.

For example, activated hormone-receptor complex activates G protein to trigger the synthesis of cAMP within the cells. Activation of various protein kinases by cAMP results in phosphorylation of different proteins present in various target cells. Activation of different proteins in different target cells, as stimulated by the same peptide hormone generates varied responses.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

1. Cell

2. cell theory

3. Organismal theory

4. resolving power

Explanation:

The cell is the smallest known unit of all living organisms. They are called the building blocks of life. An organism can be unicellular (made up of one cell) or multi-cellular (made up of many cells).

2. Cell theory was formulated and developed  by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow. They are considered as the basic principles of biology.

It states:

1. Living organisms are made up of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of life.

3. Cells are formed from pre-existing cells.

4. Energy flows inside the cell.

5. DNA is passed on from cell to cell.

6. All cells have the same basic chemical composition.

3. Organismal theory is the intended counter-argument of the cell theory. It was developed by Reichert, Strasberger, Sherrington, and Pavlov. It argues that the basic unit of life is the organism itself, suggesting that an organism came about from a cell that expanded.

4. Resolving power is the ability of an optical instrument like a microscope or a telescope to view objects that are close together as separate, abling the viewer to distinguish the two from each other.

Receptors for hearing are located in the _______.
Inga [223]
Cochlea.

The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards.  <span>

These sound waves are then transduced when it reaches the cochlea where hair-like structures interprets the sensory information and is relayed to the brain.</span>
