The endocrine system acts through chemical messengers called- -
3241004551 [841]


The best answer is D.

Hormones are chemical messengers  secreted mostly into blood and also extracellular fluid by specialized tissue of the endocrine system and affect the functioning of other tissues or cells.

Most hormones circulate in blood and come in contact with essentially all cells, but a particular hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, which are termed as target cells to that hormone.

A target cell responds to a particular  hormone because it bears receptors for that hormone.

For example the red blood cells have receptors for the  hormone called insulin which is produced by the pancreas. The red cells are able to take in glucose  when their receptors bind to insulin.

How come one type of matter can be converted to a totally different one?
wariber [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

En física, la materia es todo aquello que se extiende en cierta región del espacio-tiempo, que posee energía y está sujeto a cambios en el tiempo y a interacciones con aparatos de medida. Se considera que es lo que forma la parte sensible de los objetos perceptibles o detectables por medios físicos.

Etimológicamente, proviene del latín materia, que significa «sustancia de la que están hechas las cosas» y que también alude a la «madera dura del interior de un árbol»;1​ la palabra está relacionada con māter («origen, fuente, madre»)2​ y se corresponde con el griego hyle3​ (de hylos: «bosque, madera, leña, material»)4​5​ que es un concepto aristotélico de la teoría filosófica del hilemorfismo.6​

El uso moderno del término va más allá de la noción clásica de sustancia, y los físicos denominan materia a cualquier entidad cuya presencia en una cierta región del espacio-tiempo conlleva que el tensor energía-impulso para dicha región es diferente de cero.
