Definition of Equivalent Decimals Decimalsâ¦sometimes, they can be a little confusing. How can we tell if two decimals are equivalent, even if they appear differently on the page?
The main function of auxin is to help plants grow. Auxin stimulates plant cells to elongate, and the apical meristem of a plant is one of the main places that auxin is produced. This makes sense because the apical meristem is also the location that all the other parts of a plant grow from-the stem, leaves, and flowers.
Hormones are produced by endocrine glands. In humans and many other animals, hormones are either peptide hormones (modified amino acids, peptides, small proteins) or steroid and steroid-like hormones. The endocrine glands are ductless glands and secrete hormones directly into the blood vessels nearby. The hormones are then carried throughout the body and act upon target cells and tissues. The target cells have protein receptors which recognize the hormone and bind it. This interaction of the hormone and its specific receptor occurs either in the cell membrane (amino acid, peptide, or small protein hormone) or in the cell interior (steroid hormones).
