Answer:

Hormones activate target cells by diffusing through the plasma membrane of the target cells. Hormones circulate throughout the body via the blood, contacting just about all cells. The "target" cells for a particular hormone have receptors, either on the cell membrane

Answer:

Hormones activate target cells by diffusing through the plasma membrane of the target cells.

The glands of the endocrine system secrete hormones directly into the extracellular environment. The hormones then diffuse to the bloodstream via capillaries and are transported to the target cells through the circulatory system.

valkas [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3. "secondary structure".

Explanation:

The secondary structure of polypeptide and proteins refers to the second order of folding, including common structures such as beta sheets, alpha helix, as well as turns and loops. The hydrogen bonds between the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the peptide bonds are crucial to secondary structures, as these hydrogen bonds form and stabilize the aforementioned common structures.

Newsweek in 1989 reported that 60% of young children have blood lead levels that could impair their neurological development. As

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is 83.38%.

Explanation:

The probability of young children having blood levels that impair their neurological development is given as 60% in the question. To find the probability of at least 5 children out of 10 in a sample having said blood levels, we need to use the binomial probability.

n represents the total number of children in the sample so n = 10 and p is the probability of the children having blood levels causing the problem which is 60% so p = 0.6.

We want the probability of it being observed for 5 or more children and that is $P(x\geq 5)$ . If we subtract the $P( x\leq 4)$ from 1, which is the probability of not observing the condition in 5 or more children, we will have the $P(x\geq 5)$ .

$1 - P(x\leq 4) = 1 - pbinom(4, 10, 0.6)$ which are the probability range in the function, the sample size and the probability of observing the condition respectively.
