Which of the following statements is false? Group of answer choices A) Dissolved gases such as nitric oxide (NO) can act as sign
shusha [124]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

B) Nucleotides and amino acids can act as extracellular signal molecules:

ATP is made of adenosine (a type of nucleotide) and used in cell signalling called "purigenic signalling" and amino acids are also used as signal molecules.

C) Some signal molecules are transmembrane proteins:

Transmembrane acts as receptors for smaller signal molecules so this can also be accepted as true.

D) Some signal molecules can bind directly to intracellular proteins that bind DNA and regulate gene transcription:

That is also true, some of the hormones can cross lipid membrane of the cells and bind directly to the intracellular (inside-of-a-cell) proteins.

Lastly; dissolved gasses such as nitric oxide can activate proteins such as guanylyl cyclase so this choice is <u>false</u>.

What is true of stomata
DedPeter [7]

The surface of a leaf has many tiny pores, called stomata. The stomata allow carbon dioxide into the leaf so that photosynthesis can occur. They also allow water to leave the leaf by transpiration. Plants that grow in full sunlight usually have most of their stomata on the shaded undersides of their leaves.
