Which type of hormone receptor—plasma membrane bound or intracellular—would be expected to provide the most long-lived response to hormone binding and why?
If a hormone interacts with a membrane-bound receptor, then the cell’s DNA will be stimulated to synthesize and secrete a protein.
True or False?
How could you determine whether a hormone-mediated response hasresulted from the intracellular mediator mechanism or the nuclearreceptor mechanism?

What fraction of the receptors will have hormone bound?If a meaningful physiological response occurs when 50% ofthe receptors have bound a hormone molecule, how muchwill the concentration of hormone have to rise to elicit aresponse? The fraction of receptors (R) bound to hormone(H) to form a receptor–hormone complex (R–H) is [R–H]/([R] + [R–H]) = [R–H]/[R]TOT = [H]/([H] + Kd).arrow_forward
