Answer:
Frogs with deformities that typically include missing limbs, extra limbs, partial limbs, limbs that are bent and contorted, or limbs that have little muscle, are malformed frogs. Most frogs are usually malformed because of the sensitivity to the environmental factors around them while growing out of the tadpole stage
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.
