Why do lipophilic hormones require carrier proteins while being transported in the blood?

Biology
1 answer:
valina [46]3 years ago
6 0

Lipophilic hormones, intuitive as the name suggests, tend to dissolve well in lipids/fats than they do in water. Therefore lipophilic hormone does not dissolve well in blood plasma which would affect their diffusion.  The carrier proteins are mainly the serum albumins.

Discuss mechanisms of disease transmission and processes of infectionss
nata0808 [166]
Diseases have multiple ways of infiltrating your body. Diseases can be transported through blood, air, and physical touch. Once the disease has infiltrated the body, it can spread through out the body in many ways. One of which is by feeding off of other cells energy and reproducing. The pathogens travel through the blood and irritate cells. The irritation of cells can cause the body to consume more energy, to repair the damage. This causes symptoms like tiredness, regurgitation, and sometimes in extreme cases, death.
