Which statement about steroid hormones is TRUE? They are derived from the amino acid tyrosine. They are produced by the thyroid gland. They are lipid soluble. They are water soluble. They are associated with second messenger cascades. Through electrical stimulation during brain surgery and through imaging studies, we know that specific functions are localized to specific parts of the brain. In particular, we know that the primary somatosensory cortex is located in the: Occipital lobe Temporal lobe Limbic lobe Frontal lobe Parietal lobe What would happen to the resting potential if a channel permeable to sodium were inserted into the membrane? The resting potential would become more negative because sodium would flow into the cell. The resting potential would remain the same. The resting potential would become more positive because sodium would flow into the cell. The resting potential would become more positive because sodium would flow out of the cell. The resting potential would become more negative because sodium would flow out of the cell.

Complete the following statements regarding the mechanisms behind peptide and steroid hormones. There are two main types of secreted by the endocrine system: peptide and steroid. internal receptors These molecules bind to on the surface of target cells, like a lock and key. external do After the peptide hormone epinephrine binds to a target cell, forms, and then activates a protein kinase enzyme within the cell. or inside synthesis faster do not Epinephrine initiates a signaling cascade as a , meaning it binds to an receptor on the cell. more slowly ATP cAMP plays the role of a , setting the cell's machinery in motion. first messenger hormones Steroid hormones enter the target cell, and thus bind receptors. activation second messenger Steroid hormones act than peptide hormones, because they initiate the of proteins. cAMP never Reset

How do steroid hormones differ from polypeptide hormones and most amino-acid-derived hormones? a. Steroids are lipid soluble and cross plasma membranes readily. b. Polypeptide and amino-acid-derived hormones are longer lived in the bloodstream and thus exert greater signal amplification. c. Polypeptide hormones are the most structurally complex and induce permanent changes in target cells. d. Only polypeptide and steroid hormones bind to receptors in the plasma membrane.
