The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a
longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier
proteins in the blood. In other words, they
are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane. They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose
tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription
while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of
steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.

Protection
Explanation:
The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell. It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. And that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.
Answer:
d. Character displacement
Explanation:
Character displacement is the phenomenon in which the similar species living in the same geographical region with similar niches differentiate in order to reduce their niche overlap and avoid competitive exculsion. Just like in this case of two- spot and three -spot avenger beetles as their timmings for hunting is different where their ranges overlap. So it's the good example of character displacement,
The bare soil surface type affects the amount of runoff because it has
no other stopping mechanism that prevents runoff to happen. Just like in the
use of pesticide, it is
harmful to human agriculture because it contains an antifreezing chemical
(present in transportation vehicles). When the chemical seeps into the soil, it
will create a runoff and can seep into the groundwater causing pollution.
