Cortisol is a steroid hormone that can pass through the plasma membrane. Complete the flowchart describing the interaction of co
rtisol with intracellular receptors. 1. Cortisol passes through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm.
2. Cortisol-receptor complex forms in the cytoplasm.
3. Cortisol-receptor complex enters the nucleus where it binds to genes.
4. Cortisol-receptor complex acts as a transcription factor
5. The transcribed mRNA is translated into a specific protein.
Cortisol is a hormone that is considered as an endogenous mineralocorticoid that activates the sympathetic nervous system, it is said that its peak in blood in the body respects a schedule and it is at dawn, which makes us wake up at dawn.
This hormone once it diffuses through the cell membrane has its receptor and its action at the nuclear level, this is thanks to its butterflies properties that helps it to better diffuse the membranes and reach a binding site at the nuclear level. In this way it interferes with genetic coding and protein expression.
The principle of superposition states that the oldest sedimentary rock units are at the bottom, and the youngest are at the top. Based on this, layer C is oldest, followed by B and A. So the full sequence of events is as follows: Layer C formed.
