C. The number of covalent bonds is equal to the number of unpaired valence electrons. For example, nitrogen and phosphorous both have 3 unpaired valence electrons thus forming 3 covalent bonds.
Euglenoid chloroplasts are surrounded by nuclear membrane
Answer:
The water soluble hormones affect the target cells with least amount of interaction.
Explanation:
Hormones are the chemical messengers. These are the substances secreted by the endocrine glands. The hormones are secreted directly into the bloodstream and are carried to the target cells within the blood only.
Based on their structure, hormones are water-soluble or lipid-soluble. The lipid-soluble hormones are steroid hormones and thyroid hormones. These hormones can easily pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane of the target cell. Therefore, the lipid-soluble hormones have intracellular receptors that are present in either cytoplasm or the nucleus of the target cells.
On the other hand, the water-soluble hormones can not pass through the lipid bilayer of the target cells. Therefore, these hormones have extracellular receptors on the surface of the target cells. Binding of the water-soluble hormones to their cell surface receptors triggers the production of the intracellular second messengers that finally carry the signal to the target protein or any other target molecule.
<u>Therefore, a water-soluble hormone exhibits the least amount of interaction with the target cell. Amine hormones such as epinephrine and melatonin, peptide hormones such as oxytocin are some examples of the water-soluble hormones. </u>
Answer:
Electron transport chain
Explanation:
Cellular respiration is the process whereby glucose is broken down in the cell to yield energy in form of ATP. This process, which is important to the metabolic functioning of every organism, occurs in three major stages namely: glycolysis, kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC).
According to this question, a stage of respiration is described as follows:
- Two pyruvate molecules undergo a chemical reaction, combining with coenzyme A to form two acetyl-CoA molecules.
- Two carbon dioxide molecules and two NADH molecules are formed as a result of this process.
The process depicted above is KREB'S CYCLE of cellular respiration, hence, the stage of respiration that immediately follows the process is called ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN (ETC).
