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."

1.20×10−8s to nanoseconds

AveGali [126]

Answer:

There are 12 nanoseconds in $1.2\times 10^{-8}\ s$ .

Explanation:

We need to convert $1.2\times 10^{-8}\ s$ to nanoseconds.

We know that,

$1\ s=10^9\ ns$

Now using unitary method to solve it such that,

$1.2\times 10^{-8}\ s=1.2\times 10^{-8}\ \times 10^9\\\\=1.2\times 10\\\\=12\ ns$

So, there are 12 nanoseconds in $1.2\times 10^{-8}\ s$ .
