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>

in summer, what happens to the hurricane’s temperature, category, and speed as it travels across a body of water and then land?

IRISSAK [1]

I think it starts to get slower as soon as it starts traveling because then hurricanes wouldnt be as bad and would be long, and it could possible get worse as it travels across the water because it could be sucking up water so then it would get bigger and worse. The tempertaure will get colder because it will then start to pour and cause destruction and make it windy and very chilly.
