Question

A hormone attaches to a target cell at a receptor protein. What do you know about this hormone?

Select one:
a. It is a steroid hormone.
b. It is able to pass through cell membranes.
c. It will not enter the nucleus.

Answer 1

So, this hormone is a non-steroid hormone. Steroid hormones are fat soluble and can pass directly into the cell to affect the nucleus.

Non-steroid hormones bind to the receptor and trigger a chemical change within the cell without ever entering the cell, or the nucleus.

The answer is: It will not enter the nucleus
