The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.

Why are open circulatory systems advantageous to some animals?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Open circulatory systems are advantageous to some animals because they use less metabolic energy.

Explanation:

Open circulatory systems are also known as lagoon circulatory systems. In this systems the blood is not necessarily always inside the blood vessels; It leaves the heart and will directly irrigate the organs and then return by other means or mechanisms.

So that it can be understood more easily, it is necessary to think about this system acting in organisms much smaller and less complex than mammals or any other vertebrate of greater size. As this animals doesn't have a great size, they need to use less metabolic energy than more developed organisms, so this system allows them to save metabolic energy to be used in other living functions.
