Answer:

B. They bind to carrier proteins in order to be transported in the blood to

their target cells.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are belongs to the class of chemical compound called steroid. Steroid hormones are majorly secreted by three glands - ovaries, testes and adrenal cortex.

Steroid hormones are released in the blood and are allowed to bind to the specific carrier proteins such as corticosteroid-binding globulin and albumin which helps them to carry to the target cells for the functioning.

The steroid hormone binds to receptor proteins in the target cell and not in the plasma membrane

Hence, the correct answer is "B. They bind to carrier proteins in order to be transported in the blood to their target cells."

Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors

Allisa [31]

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.

How can you tell that a white powder is salt without tasting it?

ZanzabumX [31]

You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.
