An agonist exhibit a positive biological effect similar to the receptor it stimulates. For instance, beta agonists (i.e. Salbutamol) stimulate the beta receptors in the bronchial system therefore leading to bronchodialtion. A competitive antagonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to the receptor binding site before the biological ligand. A non-competitive agonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to an allosteric site leading to a conformational change of the receptor site.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

can ,synthesize specific proteins

Explanation:

Hormones are chemical signals secreted by animals and plant that are capable of regulating body activities and maintain homeostasis.

They are transported in the circulatory system of the body

The action of hormones can be seen after the hormone has bound to its specific receptor found inside the cell.

For instance, steroid hormone and the thyroid hormones can pass through the plasma membrane to their receptors inside the cells.

When they bind with their receptors, the target cells will synthesize specific proteins that produce the characteristic effect of the hormone.

Explain why the formation of abscission layer causes sugar to accumulate in leaves.
kramer
Abscission layer is the layer of cutinized parenchyma cells that develops in the abscission zone. The abscission zone form across the base of the plant part, where the break eventually occurs. During the photosyntesis chlorophyll using sunlight produces sugar and storches which are used as food by plant. And sugar accumulate in leaves.
