Why are some body cells responsive to a particular hormone, whereas others are not? responsive cells have complex signal transduction pathways, whereas cells that do not respond to a particular hormone lack these pathways. responsive cells express a receptor specific for the hormone. all of these choices are correct. responsive cells are located closer to the gland that releases the hormone. whether or not a cell responds to a hormone depends entirely on what type of cell it is (liver cell vs. fat cell vs. nerve cell), because hormones only activate one type of cell.

the relative standard reduction potential of the half-cell in which reduction occurs; more positive than the other half-cell. reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are added to an atom or an ion; it always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent.

the calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. carbon dioxide enters the stroma of the chloroplast to combine with the five-carbon compound called ribulose1, 5-biphosphate to form two molecules of a three-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglyceric acid. this reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme called ribulose bi-phosphate carboxylase.
