Organisms that die would have a harder time decaying, or may not even break down at all! Decomposers and detritivores break down dead organisms so without them it won't take place.
<em>Mealworm beetles go through four distinct stages of development: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The amount of time it takes the insects to go through these stages depends on the temperature of their environment and the availability of food.</em>
Insulin is a protein hormone which binds to the membrane receptor where as steroid hormones bind to the intracellular receptors.
Explanation:
Hormones can be divided into two groups based on their binding with receptor. Some hormones are water soluble like protein or peptide hormone (example is insulin) and catecholamines. These water soluble hormones cannot cross the plasma membrane of the target cell and thus bind to the membrane receptor. Binding to the membrane receptor leads to activation of intracellular enzymes which bring the physiological change. Steroid hormones in the other case can cross the plasma membrane and then bind to the intracellular receptors. The hormone receptor complex then either binds or activates specific portion of DNA to bring the physiological change.
Insulin is made by beta cells islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It controls the levels of glucose. It is a small protein made of two polypeptides, one of 21 amino acids and the other of 30 amino acids. These two are called A chain and B chain and are linked together by disulphide bonds. The pro-hormone contains an extra stretch called C-peptide. During the maturation process the proinsulin looses the c-peptide to become mature insulin protein hormone. An american company called Eli Lilly, for the first time made recombinant human insulin.
Obviously sun plants are increasing more than shade plants by Light intensity and Rate of Photosynthesis. The Shade plants are decreasing by Light intensity
Because cellulose is required for the stem growth as cellulose is the main constituent of the cell wall and also provides toughness to the stem.
When less sunlight is in those months the photosynthesis also lowers, resulting in the use of stored energy i.e starch. Hence the starch level decreases.
Explanation:
Cellulose is required for the growth and toughness of the stem. During spring the budding and growth is fastest in plants hence supply of cellulose increases.
The starch is the energy stored in plants. It is a polymer of glucose. When sunlight decreases in some months the rate of photosynthesis lowers down and plant starts using the stored form of energy ie. starch, required for various physiological activities and growth of the plants. This is the reason the starch level decreases in plants sometimes.
