Chemical classification of hormones. Give exact examples and compare hydrophobic and hydrophylic hormones. Include the criteria: way of transportation in the bloodstream, receptor location, the need for secondary messenger (with justification), final effect upon the enzymes, type of enzyme activity regulation (fast or slow).
Explain how neurotransmitters work.
Distinguish between neurotransmitters and hormones, and discuss one example of each found in the human body, describing how each works.

Lipid-soluble signaling molecules, such as aldosterone,cross the membranes of all cells but affect only target cellsbecause(A) only target cells retain the appropriate DNA segments.(B) intracellular receptors are present only in target cells.(C) only target cells have enzymes that break downaldosterone.(D) only in target cells is aldosterone able to initiate thephosphorylation cascade that turns genes onarrow_forwardGiven insulin's structure, where is its target likely located? Insulin's adverse side effects include headache, nau- sea, hunger, confusion and weakness. What can these symptoms be attributed to? Insulin has major effects on muscle and adipose tissue. It increases the rate of glucose transport across the cell membrane, decreases the rate of lipolysis, and increases uptake of triglycerides and some amino acids from the blood. In doing so, what metabolic processes does it favor? Carbohydrates: Lipids: Proteins:arrow_forward
