Once a steroid hormone binds to its receptor, the hormone-receptor complex .. a) becomes water soluble by binding to a carrier molecule. b) is transported across the plasma membrane. c) activates a cytosolic protein kinase. O d) activates enzymes bound to the cytosolic side of the plasma membrane. e) enters the nucleus via a nuclear pore complex.

A hormone molecule binds to a receptor on a cell membrane. It doesnt enter the cell; rather, the binding activates a second messenger inside the cell that triggers an amplified response to the hormonal signal. Is the signaling molecule a steroid or a nonsteroid hormone?
A cell secretes a product that diffuses through the interstitial fluid and acts on nearby cells. This process is an example of (a) neuroendocrine secretion (b) autocrine signaling (c) paracrine signaling (d) classical endocrine regulation (e) peptide hormone function
Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the formation of blood clots and is taken regularly by individuals with a heart condition. Steroids such as cortisol are used to control some autoimmune diseases and severe arthritis by down regulating the inflammatory response. After reading the role of inflammation in the bodys response to infection, can you predict an undesirable consequence of taking anti inflammatory drugs on a regular basis?
A scientist hypothesizes that the pancreas’s hormone production is controlled by neural stimuli. Which observation would support this hypothesis? Insulin is produced in response to sudden stress without a rise in blood glucose Insulin is produced in response to a rise in glucagon levels Beta cells express epinephrine receptors Insulin is produced in response to a rise in blood glucose in the brain.
By what means does a specific steroid hormone result in a specific cellular response?

Researchers measured prolactin and growth hormone in the blood plasma of six subjects at regular intervals over a 24-hour period. The investigators were interested in determining if the levels of these two hormones cycle over a 24-hour period. The Figure presents the results of their experiments, with the y axis values showing the amount of each hormone expressed as a percentage of the 24-hour mean value, and each point showing the average of the six subjects levels. FIGURE Mean concentrations of prolactin and growth hormone in plasma, averaged for six subjects and expressed as a percentage of the average concentrations measured for the 24-hour period. Do the results support the hypothesis that the changes in prolactin level over a 24-hour period are associated with the sleepwake cycle? Source: From J. F. Sassin et al. 1972.
