Organs produce only the proteins they need to conserve energy and resources, ensuring efficient cellular function. This selective expression is regulated by gene activation and repression mechanisms, allowing cells to respond dynamically to their specific physiological roles and environmental conditions. By producing only necessary proteins, organs can maintain homeostasis and prevent the potential negative effects of excess protein synthesis, such as cellular stress or waste accumulation.

Hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs because of selective permeability. This means that hormones are only able to pass through the cell membrane of certain cells and organs, and not through the cell membrane of other cells and organs. The cell membrane of the target cells and organs are specialized to allow the hormones to pass through, while the cell membrane of other cells and organs are not specialized and are therefore impermeable to the hormones. This is due to the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. These receptor proteins can bind to the hormones and facilitate their entry into the cell. Since these receptor proteins are not present on the cell membrane of other cells and organs, the hormones are unable to bind to them and therefore unable to cross the cell membrane. In addition, hormones can be broken down by enzymes in the bloodstream, which means they can’t reach their target cells and organs if they are exposed to the enzymes. This further ensures that hormones only affect the target cells and organs, and not other cells and organs. In summary, hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells and organs and not other cells and organs because of selective permeability and the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. Other cells and organs do not have these specialized receptor proteins and therefore cannot be affected by the hormones.
Monoecious flowers only have either male or female reproductive organs, but not both. Flowers with only male reproductive organs are called staminate flowers, which have stamens (male parts) that produce pollen for fertilization.
Yes, neurotransmitters are found wherever nerves are found.
No they do not. They only modify proteins.They modify and pack proteins into packages. These packages are tranported into or out to cell
Yes, organs, like all living cells, use nitrogen to make proteins. Nitrogen is an essential component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The body obtains nitrogen through dietary intake of protein-rich foods. Once inside the body, nitrogen is incorporated into amino acids, which are then used to synthesize proteins in various organs and tissues.
The Golgi apparatus does not produce proteins, but it processes and packages proteins synthesized by ribosomes in the cell. It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into vesicles for delivery to their final destinations within or outside the cell.

If you are a female, if you damage your vital reproductive organs (also known as the primary sex organs), like the ovaries, then you can damage your ova (egg(s)) which can lead to either birth defects, or infertility. Remember, A female's egg is made before she is born, so if you damage your eggs, the body does not produce more eggs, so it important to protect the organs. If you are a male, the same thing happens (only know it is the sperm), but man do continuous produce sperm, so eventually, you can probably produce an offspring. But still it is important to protect your primary sex organs.
Spermatozoa and androgens (male sex hormones, such as testosterone).
Well, recently cloning has been attempted only for copying specific organs, not necessarily whole human beings. This is important because the cloning of specific organs can completely obliterate the need to transplant organs and would guarantee 100% compatibility. This has been considered immoral on some counterparts because the stem cells needed to follow through with cloning require stem cells.
