Question

Refer to the illustration. If a hormone attached to the receptor protein shown in the diagram, the receptor protein would __________________________.

change the shape of the hormone


become a phospholipid molecule


trigger events within the cell


detach and move into the cytoplasm

Answer 1

The correct answer is the receptor protein would trigger events within the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture in the question ,one can easily say that the receptor is a cell surface receptor.As a result receptor molecule will interact with the peptide hormone leading to the formation of hormone receptor complex.

The hormone receptor complex then moves into the nucleus of the target cell and binds to the specific sequence of DNA called hormone responsive element which then trigger various events according to the cell"s need.
