Answer:
4. c) They result in production of diffusible second messengers
Explanation:
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) and steroid hormone receptors have common in the way that both result in the production of diffusible second messengers into the cytosol for further initiation of signal transduction pathways in the target cell. Hence option (c) is the correct answer.
Answer:
By increasing blood glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid levels
Explanation:
Cortisol, corticosterone, and cortisone are the glucocorticoids released by the adrenal cortex and serve to impart resistance to stress. These hormones stimulate protein breakdown (mainly in muscle cells), gluconeogenesis and lipolysis and thereby increase the concentration of amino acids, glucose and fatty acids in blood.
The amino acids are used by cells for synthesis of new proteins or for synthesis of ATP. Glucose is also used by cells to produce ATPs.
Glucocorticorticoids increase the sensitivity of blood vessels for hormones which in turn stimulate their constriction. The vasoconstriction raises blood pressure. The process of vasoconstriction resumes the normal range of blood pressure which is otherwise dropped by some emergency conditions such as injury and severe loss of blood.
Cells need mitosis in order to keep the supply of cells suitable for the human body to continue circulating with
Answer: Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels. or in materials that the consumer does not digest, or through movement

Answer:
Blood Brain Barrier(BBB)
Explanation:
This is a biological interface of special endothelial cells of astrocytes, pericytes , capillaries, neurons and other structures, acting as a physical barrier or gate separating the Central Nervous system from the peripheral blood circulations. Thus it formed a tight junction serving as a physical barrier to selectively regulate the entrance of substances from the cerebral blood flow into the brain, therefore maintaining homeostasis of the brain.
From above any substances absorbed into the blood stream irrespective of the mode of entry are transported through the BBB, and are selectively regulated to enter the brain cells by the BBB's interactions with the blood vessels, hormones etc.
Basically it allows the passage of nutrients, a few drug, hormones and resists certain toxins and pathogens for the brain homeostasis.
