1. Which type of hormone is being described for each (protein or steroid or both): STATEMENT | PROTEIN OR STEROID OR BOTH Does not enter the cell | Control cell activities elsewhere in the body from point of release | Combines with a receptor on the cell membrane | Bind to a receptor | Diffuses directly into the cell | Are usually controlled by a negative feedback loop | Leads to a cellular response | Activates a signal that enters the cell | Are produced by endocrine glands | Forms a hormone-receptor complex in the cell | Causes a conformational change in the receptor | Binds to a gene | Are effective in very small concentrations due to amplification in the target | Composed of amino acids |
