Answer:

Explanation:

The hormones which are composed of the lipids bins to the intracellular receptors but the amino acid-based hormones are not able to diffuse into the cell and thus binds to the membrane-bound receptors.

asambeis [7]

Temporary teeth

I - 3/3  C - 1/1  P - 4/4  M - 0/0 = 16 x 2 = 32

Permanent teeth

I - 3/3  C - 1/1  P - 4/4  M - 3/3 = 22 x 2 = 44

where I = incisors, C = canines, P = premolars and M = molars

Dental formula can be defined as the number of teeth on one side of the upper jaw over the number the same type of the number of teeth at the lower jaw. Thus, the formula is for one side of the mouth and the total number of teeth is the total in the formula multiply by 2.
