Answer:
There are many receptors for thyroxine on different target cells (tissues), so its effect can be huge
Explanation:
Target cell for a certain hormone is a cell that have hormone receptor specific for that hormone. There are two main types of receptors on target cell:
- cell membrane receptors (also called trans membrane receptors)-usually for peptide hormones, such as insulin
- intracellular receptors (also called nuclear receptors)-usually for steroid hormones, such as testosterone.
Hormone binding to the receptor leads to the signal cascade within the cell, which results in cell response.
Receptors for thyroid hormones are nuclear receptors.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Options -
A-avoid water pollution.
B-build thermal power plants.
C-add water features to gardens.
D-avoid drip irrigation systems
Solution -
The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.
Thus, option A is correct
Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.
Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect
Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option B is also incorrect
Genetic information.The main job of DNA is to carry the code for making protein.A gene is a stretch of DNA that can be read by proteins called ribosomes, and copied I to type of nucleic acid called massenger RNA.
Thermodynamics is the correct answer.
For centuries scientists thought the Universe always existed in a largely unchanged form, run like clockwork thanks to the laws of physics. But a Belgian priest and scientist called George Lemaitre put forward another idea. In 1927, he proposed that the Universe began as a large, pregnant and primeval atom, exploding and sending out the smaller atoms that we see today.
His idea went largely unnoticed. But in 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe isn’t static but is in fact expanding. If so, some scientists reasoned that if you rewound the Universe's life then at some point it should have existed as a tiny, dense point. Critics dismissed this: the celebrated astronomer Fred Hoyle sarcastically called this concept the “Big Bang Theory"
