The best answer is Hormone.

Hormones are chemicals secreted by one tissue and affect the functioning of other tissues and cells.

Hormones are secreted by glands of the endocrine system. They are secreted into the blood and also extracellular fluid. They then circulate in the blood and come into contact with essential all cells, but a specific hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, namely the cells that bear a receptor for that hormone.

Red blood cells for example have receptors for the insulin hormone that is produced by the pancreas. They will therefore be directly  affected by insulin while all other cells in the blood remain oblivious of this hormone..

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Increasing the substrate concentration.

Explanation:

Increasing the substrate concentration can increase the rate of the reaction to a certain point. However, once all of the enzymes bounded to the substrate, any further addition of it will not be going to affect or increase the rate of the reaction at all, as all the enzymes will be saturated and working in their maximum rates.

Feliz [49]

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called <u>transcellular transport</u>.

The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.

Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells.  The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

plant organisms can alternate between diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte phases.

Explanation:

Once mature, the gametophyte produces male and female gametes. When haploid gametes unite, they form a diploid zygote. The zygote grows via mitosis to form a new diploid sporophyte,Thus unlike in animals.
