Question

If a biochemist discovers a new molecule, which of the following pieces of data would allow her to draw the conclusion that the molecule is a steroid hormone? I) The molecule is lipid soluble. II) The molecule is derived from a series of steps beginning with cholesterol. III) The molecule acts at a target tissue some distance from where it is produced. IV) The molecule uses a transport protein when in an aqueous solution such as blood.

Answer 1

Answer:

In this question, consider how to correct two options:

The most successful is that a steroid hormone derived from components that contain cholesterol, this is because they are made up of lipids.

And the second correct option is that to be transported in blood fluids, THEY ARE GENERALLY (NOT ALWAYS) transported by transport proteins to their target organ, which may be close, far or even the same as the productions.

Explanation:

A variety of steroids and synthetic steroids have also been devised. Most are steroids, but some nonsteroidal molecules can interact with steroid receptors due to the similarity of their forms. Some synthetic steroids are weaker, and some much stronger, than natural steroids whose receptors they activate.
