Nitric oxide is a paracrine signal molecule because NO

Answer:

C. is unstable, with a short half life

Explanation:

Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.

Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.

What would happen to the climate if if the tilt of earth increased slightly?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: the season would change rapidly this could mean longer summers and winters example, for the icy places that need a longer winter would start evaporating  to the lack of warmth to keep everything the same temperature these small differences can then develop into more saviour  problems such as rapid decrease in fruits in vegetables for the places that will bee getting summers later

why do plant cells occasionally switch from noncyclic electron flow (nef) to cyclic electron flow (cef)?
Blizzard [7]

Creating a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane in higher plants uses cyclic electron flow (CEF), which primarily serves two purposes: (1) producing ATP and balancing the ATP/NADPH energy budget; and (2) defending photosystems I and II from photoinhibition.

ATP and NADPH are produced by noncyclic electron transport. The single product of cyclic electron transport was ATP. Both steps are required by a plant to produce the required amount of ATP for the Calvin Cycle. The electrons are released by photosystem I and then brought back into the system during cyclic photophosphorylation. However, in non-cyclic photophosphorylation, the electrons that the photosystems emit do not come back.

Small proteins released from tissue cells infected with viruses, as well as from activated lymphocytes and macrophages, are call
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Small proteins released from tissue cells infected with viruses, as well as from activated lymphocytes and macrophages, are called Interferons

<h3>What are Interferons ?</h3>

A collection of signalling proteins known as interferons are produced and released by host cells in response to the presence of certain viruses. Typically, a virus-infected cell will release interferons, boosting the antiviral defences of neighbouring cells.

  • They are released by infected cells, where they trigger the innate immune system's production of cytokines as well as natural killer cell activity and antigen presentation.

  • By establishing cytokine barriers, interferons shield uninfected cells from subsequent viral infections. Additionally, they prevent cellular division and control the organism's immune response.
