Hormones are chemical substances that affect the activity of another part of the body. Hormones serve as messengers, controlling and coordinating activities throughout the body.
The endocrine gland produces hormones.
Answer:
The correct answer is c) The first statement is true; the second is false.
Explanation:
To be able to perform its role, a hormone must bind a specific receptor in its target cell. The receptor can be located inside the cell (in cytosol) or in the surface of the cell (transmembrane receptor). By regulating the expression of the receptor, the target cell regulates the hormonal activity.
The number of hormone receptors in a cell is not constant, it can vary depending on sereral factors, such as the age of the organisms, the effect of several drugs, mutations or diseases.
<u>Answer:</u>
Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
- During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.
- But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.
- To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.
Slanted telephone poles are evidence of "creep" since this is usually the result of some kind of soil degradation, although this is not always the case for the cause of the lean.
