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.

What type of stream valley forms in mountainous areas?
Alex73 [517]

The type of stream valley likely to form in a mountainous area is a V- shaped valley. This is a narrow valley that has a profile giving the impression of the letter V. This kind of valley is characterized by steeply sloping sides. It results from a stream eroding downward, a process referred to as downcutting. V - shaped valleys form in mountains or highland areas where streams are in their youthful stage and are flowing rapidly down steep slopes.
