Changes in the amount of sea ice can disrupt normal ocean circulation, thereby leading to changes in global climate. Even a small increase in temperature can lead to greater warming over time, making the polar regions the most sensitive areas to climate change on Earth
Answer:
internal receptor binding
Explanation:
This is because steroid hormones are lipids by nature (usually composed of cholesterol) so they are hydrophobic. This means that steroid hormones can easy pass through the membrane and bind to their internal receptors.
Internal receptors also known as intracellular receptors have DNA binding domain and when hormones bind to them DNA-binding site becomes exposed. Hormone-receptor complex gets into the nucleus and binds to regulatory regions of the DNA. Cellular response is gene expression.
