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, <em>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.</em>

Therefore the correct answer is c.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. <em>Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean</em>

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates collide, it occurs oceanic convergence. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate, and at this point, it starts the volcanic activity. As the thicker plate descends, it is heated and melted and its materials are incorporated into the mantle. The fast subduction originates magma that ascends to the surface by crevices. This makes place to the formation of grouped volcanic islands, the island arches. Subduction zones coincide with deep-sea trenches or depressions in the ocean bed. The volcanic islands are arranged in a circumference arch shape, which is bordered by a fossa. Most of these are located in the western Pacific, where the pacific crust is older and thicker, and hence it submerges easier in the mantle.

The Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean are examples of these volcanic islands.

Correct answer looks like to me would be A. Because, if a sunflower has 34 chromosomes, when you split it up into x and y chromosomes, there will be 17 x chromosomes and 17 y chromosomes. Hope this helps!
