Question

Which statement about protein hormone synthesis is FALSE. First exclude the four statements that are true. Which statement about protein hormone synthesis is FALSE. First exclude the four statements that are true. The RNA used for protein hormone synthesis is a copy of the gene for the protein hormone. Protein hormones are synthesized on free ribosomes. The cell invests energy to move protein hormones through the cell. Protein hormones are packaged into vesicles for movement through the cell. Protein hormones often travel through the bloodstream in order to reach a target cell.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - Protein hormones are synthesized on free ribosomes (false).

Step-by-step explanation:

The majority of the hormones that are produced from endocrine glands are produced are steroids however some of the hormones are made up of peptide or proteins.

Protein hormone synthesis uses RNA, is a copy of the gene for this hormone, this is packaged into vesicles with the help of ER and Golgi bodies for movement through the cell and reaches to its target cell by traveling through the bloodstream. mRNA is transcribed from DNA in order to produce protein. These hormones are produced according to the mRNA coding from amino acids in the cell.
