Why are receptors for steroid hormones located inside the cell rather than on the membrane surface?

Biology

worty [1.4K]4 years ago

Steroid hormones are built around a cholesterol backbone, which is a lipid. Since the majority of the thickness of the cell membrane is composed of hydrophobic fatty acid tails, steroid hormones, also being hydrophobic (or lipophilic), can easily pass through the cell membrane to seek out intracellular/extranuclear receptors. This process allows these types of hormones to bypass the membrane-coupled second messenger systems (G-protein/cAMP/IP3, etc.) to more quickly and effectively initiate their effects on the nucleus or other internal component(s) of the cell.

andriy [413]
The disadvantage of having imformation at your fingertips is that not all of information could be true but only mere ideas or theories and that having alot of information can be overwhelming to the point where you can process so much information you might forget about the important things you come across for some propaganda trying to get your attention

The letter X in the diagram below represents what enzyme used in the process shown?
Anvisha [2.4K]

<u>Answer</u>: Option D. RNA polymerase.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Transcription is the process which is used to produce RNA from a DNA template.
  • The enzyme involved in the process of transcription is <em>RNA</em> <em>polymerase</em> which is responsible for separating the DNA strands and making an RNA which is complementary to the DNA.
  • RNA polymerase joins the nucleotides in the newly formed RNA strands by utilizing the energy released from the cleavage of the additional phosphate bonds that are removed by it.
  • The RNA polymerase dissociates from the DNA only after the process of transcription is complete.
