Which of the following correctly compares steroid and nonsteroid hormones
A. Steroid hormones bind to receptors on the outside of the cell and rely on secondary messengers while nonsteroidal hormones do not.
B. Nonsteroid hormones enter the nucleus and affect protein synthesis while steroidal hormones do not.
C. Neither steroid nor nonsteroid hormones enter the cell membrane.
D. Steroid hormones enter the nucleus and affect protein synthesis, while nonsteroidal hormones do not.
Answers
The right comparison is "Steroid hormones" enter the 'nucleus' and affect 'protein synthesis', while 'nonsteroidal hormones' do not.
EXPLANATION:
The steroid hormones have cholesterol backbone and are hydrophobic in nature due to their lipid structure. These hormone are transported inside the cell membrane via carrier protein from blood and finally they interact with nuclear receptor that and affect the DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. While non-steroid hormone are polar in nature, they interact with receptor on cell membrane and activate secondary messengers to further influence the effect.
Answer:
Steroid hormones enter the nucleus and affect protein synthesis, while nonsteroidal hormones do not. Hormones flow throughout our body. It is responsible for many things.
As you already know, it is highly responsible for our mood swings, especially when we reach our adolescence years. Hormones also form an essential part of the reproductive system.
