Why does testosterone, a lipid-soluble signal ing molecule that crosses the membranes of all cells, affect only target cells? (A

) Only target cells retain the appropriate genes regulated by testosterone. (B) Intracellular receptors for testosterone are present only in target cells. (C) Only target cells possess the cytosolic enzymes that transduce the signal from testosterone to adenylyl cyclase. (D) Only in target cells is testosterone able to initiate the phosphorylation cascade leading to activated transcription factor.

Testosterone is a lipid-soluble signaling molecule that crosses the membranes of all cells and affects only target cells because intracellular receptors for testosterone are present only in target cells.

Testosterone is the male sex or gamete hormone which is made in the male testicles. Testosterone hormone levels are very important to normal male sexual development and its functions.

Therefore, testosterone signals can be translated directly to changes in gene expression, and this hormone activates kinases that regulate processes required to maintain spermatogenesis as this is lipid-soluble, so it does not require any molecular event for transmission. They can dissolve in the body and can travel through the cell membranes easily.

How might targeting rapidly growing cells explain common chemotherapy side effects such as hair loss and nausea
IrinaVladis [17]

Cancer cells are the cells that divide rapidly than any other cells in the body. The drugs used in chemotherapy work on rapidly dividing cancer cells. Some cells of our body apart from cancer cells also divide rapidly along with the cancer cells such as the cells that line the stomach and the digestive tract. Chemotherapy drugs cannot differentiate the cancer cells and the normal cells so these drugs also attack the normal cells which divide rapidly along with the cancer cells. The drugs also attack the cells that are present in the roots of the hair. So, this results in the hair loss. Hair loss does not occur immediately after the chemotherapy treatment instead it starts after few treatments. The degree of the hair loss after chemotherapy depends on the drug type and process. So when the chemotherapy drugs are used it results in the hair loss and nausea.

Therefore, when chemotherapy drugs attack normal cells including the roots of the hair instead of cancer cells that divide rapidly along with the cancer cells it results in the hair loss and nausea.
