Aldosterone is a steroid hormone that freely enters the target cells to act within the cell. Epinephrine is a polar monoamine (amino acid) hormone that interacts with receptors on the cell's surface. What accounts for this difference? [Select any/all that apply.] Steroids are charged and hydrophilic, so aldosterone passed through a transport protein. Steroids are hydrophobic so aldosterone passed through the membrane by simple diffusion. Epinepherine (amino acid) hormone is hydrophilic, so it cannot diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer. Epinepherine (amino acid) hormone could diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer but it is attracted to the receptor protein.

Provide examples and describe basic structure/function of plasma membrane components– Phospholipids (Which is charged, what is the functional significance? Are they preferentially located on cytosolic or extracellular lipid monolayer? What is the functional significance of plasma membrane asymmetry?)– Describe phosphatidylserine signaling– Cholesterol: how does it maintain optimal fluidity?– Glycolipids– Proteins
A cell creates a H+ gradient across a membrane- in other words, a situation is created were the concentration of H+ is higher on one side then the other of a membrane. How can this H+ concentration gradient be used to do work (that the cells needs to do)?
Endothelial cells lining blood vessels can produce large amounts of nitric oxide (NO). The NO diffuses out of the endothelial cells and into smooth muscle cells that are in close proximity. In the smooth muscle cells, NO binds to an enzyme, X, to rapidly increase intracellular levels of Y. Y causes rapid relaxation of smooth muscle cells surrounding the blood vessels. The actions of the Y molecule are controlled by enzyme Z which degrades protein Y into a non-functional form, blocking vasoconstriction and retaining high blood flow. Identify molecules X, Y and Z and explain how the drug Viagra targets this pathway.
If a liver cell with a concentration of 4% glycogen was submerged into a solution with 8% glucose, water would move: O from the liver cell to the outside solution via diffusion O from the solution to inside the liver cell via active transport O from the liver cell to the outside solution via endocytosis O from the solution to inside the liver cell via metabolism O from the liver cell to the outside environment via osmosis
