What are the three typical responses that occur when a hormone binds to its receptor?
What are the three typical responses that occur when a hormone binds to its receptor?
- Inhibition of enzyme activity, enhancement of motor skills, decrease in protein synthesis
- Change in membrane permeability, alteration of reaction rates, production of a new molecule (correct)
- Increase in cell size, decrease in ATP production, stopping of gene expression
- Enhanced vision, improved hearing, increased heart rate
How does change in membrane permeability affect cellular function?
How does change in membrane permeability affect cellular function?
- Decreases the cell's ability to respond to stimuli
- Alters the shape of the nucleus
- Increases the number of mitochondria in the cell
- Controls the entry or exit of substances by adjusting transport proteins (correct)
What is the role of altering reaction rates when a hormone binds to its receptor?
What is the role of altering reaction rates when a hormone binds to its receptor?
- Enhances photosynthesis in plant cells
- Regulates the cell's water content
- Affects metabolic reactions by activating or deactivating enzymes (correct)
- Increases the number of lysosomes in the cytoplasm
