Chapter 39.5, Problem 3LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The effect of gene transcription with the help of a hormone and a diagram.
Introduction: The gene expression refers to a process in which the information present in the DNA is converted into a functional product known as protein. The process of gene expression is fundamental to all living beings, including viruses.

Distingish steroid from amino acid based hormones. Which act via second messenger system? Why must they use this method of target cell stimulation?
Short answer
Place the following steps (showing how a steroid hormone changes the activities of its target cells) in order of what happens first, second, third, fourth, and last. Refer to image.
The hormone-receptor complex enters the nucleus of the cell and binds to the DNA.
The steroid hormone passes through the cell membrane.
The hormone attaches to a receptor in the cytoplasm, forming a hormone-receptor complex.
A gene in the DNA is activated, and transcription and translation take place.
Proteins that alter the cell′s activities, such as enzymes, are made.
2. Place the following steps (showing how a hydrophilic hormone changes the activities of its target cells) in order of what happens first, second, third, and last. Refer to image.
The activity of the target cell is changed by the final enzyme in the cascade.
The second messenger activates or deactivates certain enzymes in a cascade fashion.
A second messenger is activated.
Hormone binds to a receptor protein.
Give an example of a polypeptide hormone. How many amino acids are in the hormone? Where is the hormone released? Where does the hormone function? What is the result of the hormone message?
