Steroid hormone

  • The cell signaling pathways induced by the steroid hormones regulate specific genes within the cell's DNA. The hormones and receptor complex act as transcription regulators by increasing or decreasing the synthesis of mRNA molecules from specific genes.
  • Steroid hormones are not able to target every cell within the body, so the overall response is slower. They bind to receptors on the cell's surface and the receptors aid in helping the steroid hormones enter the cell.
  • Hormones work by binding to protein receptors either inside target cells or on their plasma membranes. The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell.
  • Steroids pass into a cell's nucleus, bind to specific receptors and genes and trigger the cell to make proteins.

In noncyclic photophosphorylation, O2 is released from
jonny [76]

The correct answer is: B) H2O

Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is a light reaction and it occurs in the thylakoid membrane and it involves two different chlorophyll photosystem.

Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is a reaction where a water molecule is broken down into 2H+ + 1/2 O2 + 2e− . This process is called photolysis. The  2H+ and 1/2O2 from the water are left out for further use, while two electrons are kept in photosystem II.

Earthquakes occur because
lora16 [44]
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little.

Which of the following can occur to two segments of a population if they are geographically isolated
lbvjy [14]

The correct answer is 4.) Eventually they become separate species

A process of formation of a new species from an existing species is called speciation.

When a single species changed into two or more separate species, is called speciation. Speciation can take place due to reproductive isolation.  In reproductive isolation, the separated species no longer can interbreed among themselves. This is happened due to mating differences, sterility or environmental barriers which finally results into the adaptive splitting into two species.
