Answer:
The diagram describes the action of steroid hormone.
Explanation:
Hormones can be either steroid hormone which can cross the membrane of the target cell and bind to the intracellular receptors or protein/peptide hormones which are water soluble and cannot cross the membrane so bind to the membrane receptors.
- As we see in the diagram, the hormone crossed the cell membrane and it goes to bind with the intracellular receptor.
- Once the hormone receptor complex is formed it enters into the nucleus.
- Within the nucleus it binds to specific sites on DNA bringing about the physiological change.
- An mRNA is formed within the nucleus which is translated into new protein in the cytoplasm.
- This new protein brings about the physiological change.
