Answer:

Explanation:

Most organic compounds contain Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms in their structure.

Nucleic acids are polynucleotides, which are long chain molecules composed of series of building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogen-containing base, five-carbon sugar called ribose, and a phosphate group.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule capable of storing energy derived from food. It contains ribose (a five-carbon sugar) at its center, adenine (a nitrogenous base), and phosphate group (phosphorus atom attached to four oxygen atoms).

In the case of Nucleic acids and ATP; carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus are all vital components but carbon is a key component of any organic compound due to its ability to form long chains with other carbon atoms, a process known as catenation.

In humans, the hormone testosterone enters cells and binds to specific proteins, which in turn bind to specific sites on the cel
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

As a transcription factor

Explanation:

Testosterone is a male sex hormone secreted by the testicles which promote the growth of the male reproductive organs and the male characters like muscle buildup.

The hormone shows the paracrine effect and thus act on the target cell at distant. The mechanism of action of the testosterone is that it controls the gene expression of various other genes.

The testosterone binds the specific proteins which activate the expression of the gene that is they acts as a transcription factor which activates the expression.  

Thus, as a transcription factor is correct.
