Question

How do steroid hormones in our body system elicit a response in their target cells?Select one:

a. Steroid hormones attach to a membrane-bound receptor on the cell. This creates an intracellular second messenger which leads to a reaction cascade.

b. Steroid hormones enter the nucleus of the target cell and increase the creation of ribosomes by the nucleolus. This results in more proteins being made by the target cell.

c. Steroid hormones enter the target cell and alter the products of the cell at the transcription level.

d. Steroid hormones move freely throughout the bloodstream and attach to their target cells. This interaction increases ion permeability in the cell.
