QUESTION 10 Which of the following is characteristic of the action mechanism of a steroid hormone? A. it involves production of a second messenger B. the receptor dimerizes after binding the hormone C. it requires signal transduction D. the receptor is in the cell cytoplasm QUESTION 11 What does it mean to say that a signal is transduced when a hormone binds to a cell surface receptor? A. An extracellular signal is converted to an intracellular signal. B. A small amount of hormone causes a large response by the target cell. C. The hormone enters the cell by endocytosis. D. After the hormone binds, the target cell synthesizes additional hormone molecules.

Hemal K.
Q.5. Mark the wrong sentence regarding hormone receptors A. Protein structure, synthesized and destroyed, recognizing hormone molecules, usually high affinity specific binding sites B. Thyroid hormone receptors are located in the cell nucleus. C. Peptide and catecholamine-structured hormone receptors are in the cell. D. Peptide and Amine-structured hormone receptors trigger post receptor events via adenylylcyclase-cyclic AMP. E. Lipid-soluble hormones cross the cell membrane by passive diffusion and interact with receptors in the cytoplasm and nucleus
