Question

Steroid hormones and thyroid hormones ________ pass across the plasma membrane; they cause the target cells to ________ that produce the characteristic effects of the hormones.

Answer 1

Answer:

can ,synthesize specific proteins

Explanation:

Hormones are chemical signals secreted by animals and plant that are capable of regulating body activities and maintain homeostasis.

They are transported in the circulatory system of the body

The action of hormones can be seen after the hormone has bound to its specific receptor found inside the cell.

For instance, steroid hormone and the thyroid hormones can pass through the plasma membrane to their receptors inside the cells.

When they bind with their receptors, the target cells will synthesize specific proteins that produce the characteristic effect of the hormone.
