Correct Answer: entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene
Explanation:
Steroid hormones exert their action by entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene.
Correct Answer: All of the above
Correct Answer: Protein monomers that are held together with covalent bonds to form cytoskeletal filaments
Explanation:
Protein monomers that are held together with covalent bonds to form cytoskeletal filaments is the false statement about the cytoskeleton in the given options.
Correct Answer: Liver
Correct Answer: They increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point
Explanation:
Graded potentials are changes in membrane potential that vary in size, as opposed to being all-or-none.
In the given options, They increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point is not true about the graded potentials.
Correct Answer: Both A & B
Explanation:
The processes both osmosis and diffusion come under passive transport and require no energy. The movement of solute from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration is nothing but diffusion.
Correct Answer: limited
Explanation:
As an infant, the ability to produce antibodies is limited.
Correct Answer: Fascicles
Correct Answer: straited squamous
Explanation:
The number of cell layers and cell types together give rise to 6 different types of epithelial tissue.
1. Simple squamous epithelia
2. Simple cuboidal epithelia
3. Simple columnar epithelia
4. Stratified squamous epithelia
5. Stratified cuboidal epithelia
6. Stratified columnar epithelia
Stratified squamous epithelia is best suited for areas subject to friction.
Correct Answer: Water
Explanation:
A nutrient is a substance used by an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce. These are compounds in foods essential to life and health, providing us with energy.
There are two types of nutrients:
1. Organic Nutrients
2. Inorganic Nutrients
Carbohydrates (CHO), Lipids (fats), Proteins and Vitamins come under organic nutrients as they contain carbon. These can add fat to the body.
Minerals and Water come under inorganic nutrients as they lack in carbon. These cannot add fat to the body.
