Given these events:(1) The α subunit of a G protein interacts with Ca2+channels.(2) Calcium ions diffuse into the cell.(3) The α subunit of a G protein is activated.Choose the arrangement that lists the events in the order they occurafter a hormone binds to a receptor on a smooth muscle cell.a. 1,2,3 c. 2,1,3 e. 3,2,1b. 1,3,2 d. 3,1,2
The action of steroid hormones is different from that of peptide hormones becausea. peptide hormones must enter the cell to begin action, whereas steroid hormones must begin action on the external surface of the cell membrane.b. steroid hormones must enter the cell to begin action, whereas peptide hormones must begin action on the external surface of the cell membrane.c. peptide hormones produce a hormone receptor complex that works directly on the DNA, whereas steroid hormones cause the release of a secondary messenger that triggers enzymes.d. None of these answers is correct.
