Answer:
The correct answer is - bind to receptors in the nucleus of the target cells.
Explanation:
Steroid hormones are the chemical compounds that are a member of the class of steroids and act as hormones. These hormones are released by the adrenal cortex, testes and ovaries in the body placenta also release steroid hormone during pregnancy.
The steroid hormones do not bind to the plasma membrane of the target cell but binds to the receptors present on the nucleus of the cell. These cells pass through the cell and reach the nucleus and bind to it or gene to produce proteins for the biological process.
Thus, the correct answer is - bind to receptors in the nucleus of the target cells.
Answer:
The minimum mass of dissolved cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
<em>GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect borderline high levels of dissolved cholesterol (170, to 200. mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 250 μL Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
Explanation:
Range of the equipment to detect cholesterol in blood = 170.0 to 200.0 mg/dL
Minimum amount of cholesterol that can be detected by instrument = 170 mg/dL
Volume of blood sample = 250 <em>μ</em>L= 0.0025 dL (1 dL = 100000 <em>μL)</em>
Amount of dissolved cholesterol in 250 <em>μL</em> sample of blood =
170 mg/dL * 0.0025 dL = 0.425 mg
The minimum mass of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.
