B)
proteins

Proteins are biological macromolecule and mostly composed of enzymes. In biochemical reactions, it is mostly triggered by enzymes. Enzymes are important components in the process that involves metabolism and digestive functions, further, most of these enzymes are proteins. Proteins play a role in the physical make-up of a cell or acts as a cytoskeleton –maintains cell shape and figure. These proteins plays different roles and works with nucleic acids and other macromolecules in the cells including cell cycle, cell adhesion, immune response and cell indicators.

The shape of each of the molecules is important because A) if the shape of any molecule in an organism changes, the DNA in that

dexar [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - C) the shape of a molecule determines how it functions in chemical reactions

Explanation:

The molecular shape of the molecules is one of the important characters of the molecules. It is important due to the fact that molecular shape determines how a molecule will react and interact with other molecules.

The shape of the molecules determines boiling point, melting point as well as various chemical reaction by determining the bonds. For instance, H2O or water has a tetrahedral shape which affects its bonding and properties. If molecules were linear in shape there would be no life existed.

Thus, the correct answer would be - C)

Why does a hormone only act on specific cell types in an organism and not others?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

c) A cell must have the appropriate receptor before it can bind to the hormone.

Explanation:

Hormones are chemical signals that are secreted into the circulatory system acting as regulators within the body, and even though they can reach any part on the body, only certain types of cells are equipped to respond, these cells are known as target cells, when the hormone reaches a cell with an adequate receptors it triggers a signal transduction and then a response.

Therefore the correct answer is c.
