A project manager is assessing the environmental impact of a new construction project. What is the MOST critical aspect of this assessment?
- Delaying the assessment until after the construction is completed to avoid potential roadblocks.
- Minimizing the initial construction costs regardless of environmental consequences.
- Ensuring compliance with all environmental regulations and minimizing harm to the ecosystem. (correct)
- Prioritizing aesthetic appeal and design over environmental considerations.

Study Notes
- Peptide and protein hormones do not have a carrier protein when free or unbound
- Peptide and protein hormones are water-soluble
- Peptide and protein hormones are able to flow in plasma easily
- Steroid and thyroid hormones REQUIRE a transport carrier in plasma in order to leave the blood and enter cells
- Steroid and thyroid hormones are lipophilic
- When bound, steroid and thyroid hormones have a longer half-life than when free, allowing them to last longer in the blood stream, and they won't be excreted as fast
- The binding to carrier proteins can influence the rate at which hormones can leave and enter cells
- Half-life is correlated with the amount of hormone bound to a carrier protein; the more bound, the longer the half-life
Common Mechanisms of Hormone Action
- G Protein extracellular receptors for water-soluble hormones target outside extracellular receptors
- Tyrosine kinase-linked extracellular receptors for water-soluble hormones target outside extracellular receptors
- Steroid and thyroid hormones cross the plasma membrane and bind to the cytosolic or nuclear receptor; this results in long-term changes by changing target cell transcription and translation
- Lipophilic hormones cross the cell membrane more easily, and connects to intracellular receptors

Description
Hormones can be peptides/proteins or steroids/thyroid. Peptide hormones are water-soluble and don't need a carrier protein. Steroid hormones are lipophilic and require a transport carrier. Binding to carrier proteins affects hormone half-life and cell entry.
