Answer:

The differences are given below ↓

Nervous System

  • Electrical impulses are the messengers in the nervous system
  • Brain and the spinal cord constitute the nervous system
  • Nerve impulses are transmitted through neurons
  • The nervous system is under both voluntary and involuntary control
  • Nerve impulses make use of the neurotransmitters at synaptic clefts and sodium and potassium channels and enter the target cells
  • Responses are localised

Chemical (Endocrine) System

  • Hormones are the chemical messengers in the endocrine system that target cells through the bloodstream
  • Glands and organs like thyroid, pituitary glands and reproductive organs (ovaries and testes) are involved in the endocrine system
  • Hormones are transmitted through blood vessels
  • The endocrine system is under involuntary control
  • The hormones enter into the target cells by diffusing through the plasma membrane or by binding to the cell receptors
  • Responses are widespread

Steroid hormones exert their action by ________. A. entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The correct option is A. Steroid hormones exert their action by entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and regulate multiple biological processes. All steroid hormones exert their action by crossing the plasma membrane and by binding with their respective intracellular receptors. They stimulate cell growth in a very different way, their lipophilic nature gives them the ability to cross lipid barriers, so, without the need for extracellular signals, these hormones can easily enter the cell, cross the cytoplasm and reach the nucleus. There they bind to specific receptors that are associated with DNA promoter regions, modifying their structure and promoting the expression of the genes under their control.
