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.

A given mass of oxygen at room temperature occupies a volume of 500. 0 ml at 1. 50 atm pressure. what pressure must be applied t
andreev551 [17]

5 atm pressure must be applied to compress the gas to a volume of only 150.0 ml.

<h3>Given</h3>

Mass of oxygen at room temperature =500.0 ml

Volume of pressure = 50 atm pressure.

The gas to a volume = 150.0 ml

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The volume decreases by the factor = 500.0 mL / 150.0 mL

                                                             = 10 / 3

The pressure of the gas increased by a factor of 10/3 , which would make its final value equal to

P_{final} = \frac{10}{3} * 1.50 atm

          = 5.00 atm

So, 5 atm pressure must be applied to compress the gas to a volume of only 150.0 ml.
