Answer:

Intracellular mediator or the secondary messenger molecules

Explanation:

The hormones act on the target cell or a group of target cells by binding to the hormone receptors present in the membrane of the target cells.

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.

This involves the signal transduction by the production of the secondary messenger molecules. The messenger molecules act as intracellular mediators like the cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP and the cyclic CMP.

Thus, the secondary messenger is the correct answer.

What is the first stage in the listening process?
Alex
The first step is understanding-i'm not completely sure how to explain it, but I think it'll make sense if I put the steps in order. Here:

1. Understand (and act with compassion for the speaker)
2. Evaluate (What the person stated-let it sink in and analyze it)
3. Remembering (what you heard-Understood/Evaluated)
4. Selecting (What you should/need to say)
5. Responding (with an appropriate reply)

Hope this helps! -Laura

Why do we say that "an enzyme is reusable"?
Tanzania [10]
<span>enzymes are resuable as they are biologically catalyst which speeds up the rate of a reaction without being chemically changed themselves. However, if the enzyme is to be denatured under unfavourable conditions (extreme temperatures, extreme pH), the enzymes may not be reusable once denatured.</span>
