Non-steroid hormones cannot diffuse through the plasma membrane and so they are detected by receptor proteins on the cell’s surface which trigger the production of other molecules within the cell. Which general term describes these molecules that then continue the hormone’s signal within the cell?

Fill in the Blank QuestionFill in the blank question.Protein molecules that act as receptors for nonsteroid hormones typically have a site, which interacts with the hormone. As a result, the site of the receptor interacts with other membrane proteins, triggering a cellular response.

What do steroid and peptide hormones typically have incommon?(A) their solubility in cell membranes(B) their requirement for travel through the bloodstream(C) the location of their receptors(D) their reliance on signal transduction in the cell

State the name of the system responsible for transporting hormones around the body.

A hormone's receptors:are located on the hormone's target cellsare always located on gland cellsmatch the shape of that specific hormone moleculeare carried to the source of the hormone by the bloodstream

When a steroid hormone binds to its target cell receptor, it:Group of answer choicesalters the membrane’s permeability to G proteins.is converted into cholesterol, which acts as a second messenger.causes the formation of releasing hormones.turns specific genes of the nuclear DNA on or off.causes the formation of cyclic AMP
