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.

MAXImum [283]
The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides as well. The cell wall provides structural support and protection. Pores in the cell wall allow water and nutrients to move into and out of the cell. The cell wall also prevents the plant cell from bursting when water enters the cell.
