Solution

The three generally true statements about hydrophilic hormones are:

  1. They are readily soluble in blood: Hydrophilic hormones are water-soluble, which means they can easily dissolve in the blood and be transported throughout the body.

  2. They often activate or inactivate existing proteins so can be very fast-acting: Hydrophilic hormones typically work by binding to receptors on the cell surface, which can quickly trigger a response by activating or inactivating proteins already present in the cell.

  3. They are made when needed and diffuse out of cells: Hydrophilic hormones are not stored in the body but are produced as needed. Because they are water-soluble, they can easily diffuse out of the cells where they are made and into the bloodstream.

Group of answer choices Steroid hormone action is generally shorter lasting than that of peptide hormones as peptide hormones function at a genetic level, stimulating gene transcription.
