Steroid hormones, such as testosterone, pass through the plasma membrane and bind to an intracellular protein, as shown in the diagram below.  The hormone-receptor complex then enters the nucleus, where it interacts with DNA to promote transcription of a specific gene.  Based on the information presented, which of the following will also occur in response to steroid signaling?

Increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are correlated with increased global surface temperatures. Based on the data, predict how a surface temperature that continues to rise above 40°C most likely affects the amount of energy available to primary consumers in an ecosystem. Provide reasoning to justify your prediction.
