The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a
longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier
proteins in the blood. In other words, they
are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane. They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose
tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription
while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of
steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.
Answer:
Sarcomere
Explanation:
The muscle fiber / myofibrils consist of 2 types of filaments - actin and myosin. The myosin filaments are thick filament whereas the actin filaments are the thin filament.
In addition to this, the muscles have A-band and I-bands. These bands give the muscles alternate light and dark colour band structure. In the A-band, myosin filaments are present, whereas in the I - band the actin filaments are found.
In I-band 2 Z-lines are located. The area between the Z-lines is called sarcomere. In this sarcomere region both actin and myosin filaments present.
When muscles get contracted the length of the sarcomere shorten. The actin and myosin filaments overlap in this area. A cross-bridge form between them, with the help of filamentous protein titin.
In this question, there are no options given to choose from. So i would answer this question based on my knowledge. The most likely cause of the observed variation is adaptation and evolution. The birds of that island adapted to the food source and then they evolved as per the requirement of the place and food source.
D: Surface-water runoff from rain
Answer:
The correct answer would be Ovum.
Explanation:
The reason for Ovum being the correct answer, is because the Ovum is in the lower plant structure, and is the structure that is needed to be fertilized to reproduce gametes.
