Question 23

Multiple Choice

The receptors for steroid hormones are located inside the cell,instead of on the membrane surface like most other signal receptors.Why is this not a problem for steroids?


A) because the receptors can be readily stimulated to exit and relocate on the membrane surface
B) because receptors located inside cells are less susceptible to blockage by inhibitors located on or near the cell surface,so it serves as a protective mechanism
C) because steroid hormones are lipid soluble so can readily diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane
D) because the receptors are repressible,meaning they are actively altering cell function unless the target hormone is present
