Homework 2

This document provides a lesson on adjectives and adverbs. It includes a scientific text about how hormones are produced by endocrine glands and diffuse throughout the body, binding to target cells. The binding produces effects in the cells like gene activation. Hormones are eventually inactivated and destroyed or excreted by other cells like the liver and kidneys.

LESSON 3. Adjectives & Averbs


Pre reading warm-up

Do you have an idea on information molecules?


Scientific Text
The information molecules produced by the endocrine glands (hormones)
diffuse throughout the body (extracellular fluids, lymph, blood, and
sometimes cerebrospinal fluid, excretions, etc.).

The presence of a hormone is detected above a certain level by cells (target


cells) which have a protein (receptor) capable of specifically recognizing it.
The binding of the receptor (protein) and the hormone (ligand)produces a
certain number of effects in the cell: entry of the hormone into the cell,
activation or inhibition of enzymes, induction or repression of genes, etc. ..

These effects are specific because they depend on the nature of the hormone
and the metabolism of this cell. The hormones are finally captured by cells
(liver, kidney, etc.) which inactivate them, destroy them (catabolism) or
excrete them informational molecules.
