The action of steroid hormones is different from that of peptide hormones becausea. peptide hormones must enter the cell to begin action, whereas steroid hormones must begin action on the external surface of the cell membrane.b. steroid hormones must enter the cell to begin action, whereas peptide hormones must begin action on the external surface of the cell membrane.c. peptide hormones produce a hormone receptor complex that works directly on the DNA, whereas steroid hormones cause the release of a secondary messenger that triggers enzymes.d. None of these answers is correct.
When a hormone binds to a nuclear receptora. DNA produces mRNA.b. G proteins are activated.c. the hormone-receptor complex causes ion channels to open or close.d. the cell’s response is faster than when a hormone binds to a membranebound receptor.e. the hormone is usually a large, water-soluble molecule
Which of the following statements is truc
a. Neurotransmitters must bind to a receptor to exert an action on a cell but hormones do not have
to bind to a receptor to exert an action
b. The nervous system effects are longer lasting than the endocrine system
c. The nervous system effects are faster to respond than the endocrine system
d. The nervous system releases neurotransmitters into the bloodstream similar to how the
endocrine system releases hormones into the bloodstream
