How are hormones and prostaglandins similar? how are they different?

Biology

solniwko [45]3 years ago
5 0
Prostaglandin similarity with hormones is in the effect they achieve by binding to the receptors. Their effects are mediated by paracrine or autocrine mechanisms. Another hormone characteristic is the ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, producing cAMP as the second messenger.

On the other hand, prostaglandins differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a specific place but in many different places throughout the body. Also, the metabolic degradation of prostaglandins is very rapid.</span>

What is a disadvantage of a 2D model of the digestive system​
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Less biological relevant model and reduce cell to cell interaction.

Explanation:

The two main disadvantages of a 2D model of the digestive system​ is that it is less biological relevant model and reduce cell to cell interaction. The 2D model does not show high resemblance to reality and this model also fail to show the interactions of two cell surfaces with each other. In short, this model, does not give us complete knowledge about any biological system.

En un experimento, se prueba el efecto de cambiar el pH en una reacción enzimática. ¿Cuál podría ser una variable dependiente en
stich3 [128]

Answer:

velocidad de reacción

Explanation:

Las enzimas son proteínas que catalizan reacciones, es decir, aumentan la velocidad de reacción. Si se quiere evaluar el efecto de cambiar el pH en una reacción enzimática, se debe realizar la reacción a distintos valores de pH e ir midiendo la velocidad de reacción. Por lo tanto:

pH: variable independiente

velocidad de reacción: variable dependiente

La velocidad de reacción podría medirse a través de la cantidad de producto que se forma por unidad de tiempo, o a través de la cantidad de sustrato que se consume por tiempo.

Explain the process of cross-pollination.
Anna007 [38]

Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen of different species to stigma of different species of plants.

Cross pollination results in healthy, viable and diverse plants.

Mendel observed that traits could either be dominant or recessive.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance is the condition in which dominant allele could not produce its trait alone instead blending with recessive allele takes place giving new phenotype to progeny.

Explanation:

In cross pollination pollen transfer takes place from anthers to stigma. In Mendelian genetics the anthers of the plant was removed because it has both male and female parts on same plant so that self pollination does not take place.

The importance of cross pollination is that it creates diversity in the plant species since the traits having different alleles are combined to form the progeny plant. The offspring are healthier and high quality seeds are found.

Mendel observed that traits are either dominant or recessive in general.  It was observed that when homozygous parents were crossed, the progeny in F1 generation always had dominant trait. The recessive trait only appeared when F1 generation offspring were self pollinate.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance appear when alleles get blended and exhibit the traits in phenotype. The phenotype appeared will not be matching with either parents.

The example is a white coloured flower is crossed with red colour flower the resultant colour of the flower is pink. It shows that dominant allele red is not completely dominant and gets blended with white colour.
