1. hydrophilic hormones a. are excreted by exocytosis into the blood stream b. are taken up by the target cell via endocytosis c. diffuse into the target cells plasma membrane d. bind to receptors in the cytoplasm 2. Steroid hormones bind to receptors in the cytosol of the target cells and then this complex moves into the nucleus to stimulate transcription. a. true b. false 3. which statement(s) regarding hydrophilic hormones is correct? a. they bind to the receptors on the cell membrane of the host cells b. they trigger the release of messenger molecules inside the target cells c. epinephrine is an example of a water- soluble protein d. all the choices are correct
Added by Johnny C.
Step 1
Hydrophilic hormones are water-soluble and cannot easily pass through the plasma membrane. Therefore, they usually bind to receptors on the cell surface, which then triggers a signaling cascade inside the cell. So, the correct answer for question 1 is: a. are Show more…

The cell membrane immediately adjacent to an action potential depolarizes because of: a. membrane permeability b. sodium ions c. local currents d. membrane receptors 2. What is produced when depolarization of a cell membrane reaches threshold? a. membrane receptors are exposed b. a new action potential is produced c. the absolute refractory period d. an existing action potential is stopped 3. The absolute refractory period ensures that action potential propagation is: a. capable of spreading in either direction b. only in one direction c. blocked from certain areas of the cell membrane d. spread at a prescribed speed 4. The inside of the cell membrane becomes negative at the time of an action potential. True or False? 5. In neurons, protein pumps allow substances to move passively down their concentration gradients. True or False?
