Answer:

The correct answer is a. suppression of LH release from the pituitary.

Explanation:

Anabolic steroids are synthetic steroids made up of mainly androgenic hormone like testosterone. These anabolic steroids are usually taken by young male bodybuilders because it helps in gaining muscles.

These anabolic steroids have many side effects and infertility in males is one of its side effects. Excessive use of these steroids stops the secretion of gonadotropic hormones such as LH in males from pituitary glands by inducing negative feedback to the pituitary.

LH is important in the production of testosterone from Leydig cells and testosterone is important for sperm production. Therefore if LH is stopped no sperm production will occur and it leads to infertility in males.

Which of the following statements about the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is/are correct?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The correct answers are:

• Liver cells are abundant in SER.  

This is because liver cells contain enzymes that metabolize various lipid-soluble compounds.

• The testes and ovaries are tissue types whose cells are abundant in SER.

This is because testes and ovaries produce steroid hormones (cholesterol is the precursor for their synthesis).

• Cholesterol is made in the SER.  

ER is the organelle at which all membrane lipids are synthesized.

• Phospholipids are synthesized from cytosolic water soluble precursor molecules.  

Phospholipids are the main lipids that are the main structural components of the cell membrane. They are synthesized on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane, from water-soluble cytosolic precursors.

Describe one type of factor that controls cell division.
irina [24]
The cell cycle is controlled by many cell cycle control factors, namely cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs). Cyclins and Cdks, which are positive regulators of the cell cycle, activate cell cycle factors that are essential for the start of the next cell cycle phase.

Nutrients. The nutrients present in the cell affect cell division. ...
Genetics. Genetic code regulates cell division. ...
Chemicals. Exposure to toxic chemicals such as pesticides and some cleaning chemicals can cause cell mutation. ...
