Question

Steroid hormones are known to affect gene expression in humans. Which of the following cellular responses would you expect to occur on a target cell as a result of steroid hormone action? a. The hormone would diffuse through the cell membrane and bind directly to a gene to turn on, or off, transcription. b. The hormone would bind to a receptor on the cell surface and be brought into the cell by endocytosis. c. The hormone would diffuse through the cell membrane and bind to a receptor in the cytoplasm. d. Since steroids are built from cholesterol, they would enter the cell membrane and remain within the plasma membrane structure. In this position, they would bind to other proteins creating secondary messengers that would enter the cytoplasm.
