Answer: C. They are steroids.

Explanation:

Human hormones testosterone and estrogen are basically derived from steroids. Steroids are the lipids. Like lipids these hormones are insoluble in water and soluble in solvents which are non polar in nature. These hormones are the sex hormones.  

Testosterone is the primary male reproductive hormone. It is an anabolic steroid. It plays an important role in development of the male reproductive cells called as testes. Also ensures the development of secondary sexual characteristics for example increase in mass of muscles and bones, and growth of hair in the body.  

Estrogen is a hormones that are important for secondary sexual development and reproductive development, commonly in women. It also referred to as female sex hormones. It help in development of the secondary sexual characteristics in females such as development of breasts, widening of hips and growth of pubic hair and armpit hair.

<span>STEROIDS

Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly. </span>

Answer: A. becoming transcriptionally active

Explanation:

Regions that are sensitive to the enzyme DNase I, are regions of chromatin that lost their condensed structure, thereby leaving the DNA accessible and exposed to degradation by  the DNase I enzymes. These Chromatin regions become transcriptionally active .

These regions are referred to as DNase I hypersensitive sites.

Why will crust subduct beneath continental crust.
AlladinOne [14]
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic crust will always subduct under the continental crust; this is because oceanic crust is naturally denser. Convergent boundaries are commonly associated with larger earthquakes and higher volcanic activity.

Answer:

The structure and function of the chromosome are different in both the prokaryotic chromosome and eukaryotic chromosome. They differ in their size as the genetic information they carry is different from one another.

Eukaryotic chromosome have a different shape from the prokaryotic chromosome as the bacterial chromosome is circular and less complex due to no histone found in prokaryotes as we see in the eukaryotic chromosome. SIze of the bacterial or prokaryotic chromosome is also small and not found in condensed form as these cells carry less genetic information than eukaryotic cells.

you may have read about alkaline diets that claim that you need to only eat alkaline foods in order to remain healthy according
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Mechanisms are activated where it is sought to lower the amount of free protons in the blood, that is, to reduce acidity, these mechanisms work between two large systems, the receptor system, the respiratory system and the renal system.

Explanation:

When a metabolic acidosis is entered, either by a food, or by a disease or even an intense physical activity, the lungs seek to generate hyperventilation, to increase the concentrations of oxygen in plasma and absolutely decrease the carbon dioxide concentration, thus not the blood becomes even more acidic.

On the other hand, the digestive system together with the sensory system, will warn this proprioception of the acidity of the plasma and will promote the dilution of these acids with a solvent, which is water, promoting the sensation of thirst.

Finally, the kidneys will seek to retain all the alkaline solutes to neutralize the physiological internal pH, and will release through the urine and the channels of acidic compounds, the products or acid metabolites to the external environment, that is, acid urine excretion.
