Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer 1

Correct answer - Water soluble hormone

Explanation - Water soluble hormone is not able to cross the plasma membrane. Therefore for them to exert their action they have to act on the receptor on the plasma membrane.

Incorrect answer:

Lipid soluble hormone can cross the plasma membrane and therefore have receptors in the cytosol or nucleus

Answer 2

Correct answer - lipid soluble hormone

Explanation - lipid soluble hormones have intracellular receptors. After combing with intracellular receptors, they are transport to the nucleus.

In the nucleus, the hormone acts on the DNA

Answer 3 -

Correct answer - water soluble hormones

Explanation-

  • Water soluble hormone cannot pass through the plasma membrane.
  • They act on a receptor on the plasma membrane
  • Activation of this receptor, leads to activation of secondary messenger.
  • This is secondary messenger is cAMP

Incorrect answer

  • Lipid soluble hormone act on intracellular receptors as they can cross the plasma membrane.
  • They are then transported to the nucleus.
  • They dont need secondary messengers

Answer 4

Correct answer - both type of hormones

Both type of hormones act on the target cells to produce physiological response

Answer 5

Correct answer - water soluble.

In autocrine syntheses hormone act on the surface of the cell that produces it.

As water soluble hormone act on the cell surface receptors the correct answer is water-soluble hormone.

Consider a hypothetical cell whose plasma membrane is impermeant to everything. The membrane is studded with channel proteins for Ca2+, but these channels are initially closed. The concentration of Ca2+ outside the cell is 100 mM and the concentration of Ca2+ inside the cell is 1 mM. Initally, the membrane potential is 0 mV. After a while, the net flow of Ca2+ ceases because dynamic equilibrium has been reached. What is the membrane potential of the cell when it reaches...
