Answer:

D. steroid

Explanation:

Intracellular receptors are a type of receptors located inside the cell, specifically in the cytoplasm or nucleus. When intracellular receptors are activated by ligands called SIGNALLING MOLECULES, they change shape and regulate genetic expression in the nucleus i.e. they induce turning on and off in a gene.

However, signalling molecules that activate intracellular receptors are usually hydrophobic hormones because they need to easily diffuse through the cell membrane and bind to the receptors located internally. Example of these hydrophobic signal molecules are STEROIDS.

4 A reaction that needs water,<br> macromolecules are broken down<br> ( biochemistry )
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Hydrolysis

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a reaction that needs water to breakdown macromolecules into simpler units.

Macromolecules are giant polymers made up of several repeating monomeric units.

  • These units are too complex for the body to digest and derive nutritional benefits from them.
  • During hydrolysis, the complex is broken down into monomers.
  • The monomeric units are absorbable and useful for the body.
