Questions and Answers

What is the primary mechanism by which water-soluble hormones exert their effects on target cells?

  • They are internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis and interact with nuclear receptors.
  • They bind directly to intracellular receptors and regulate gene expression.
  • They bind to cell membrane receptors, triggering a second messenger cascade. (correct)
  • They diffuse across the cell membrane and interact with cytoplasmic proteins.

    • Which of the following statements accurately describes the amplification process in water-soluble hormone action?

  • The hormone induces the synthesis of additional receptor proteins, amplifying the cellular response.
  • The hormone binds to multiple receptors, each initiating an independent signaling pathway.
  • The hormone directly activates multiple protein kinases, resulting in a cascading effect on enzyme activity.
  • A single hormone molecule activates multiple adenylate cyclase enzymes, leading to the production of numerous cAMP molecules. (correct)

    • What is the primary function of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the water-soluble hormone signaling pathway?

  • It serves as a second messenger, activating protein kinases that modify enzyme activity. (correct)
  • It directly transports the hormone into the cell, allowing it to interact with intracellular targets.
  • It binds to cell membrane receptors, initiating the signaling cascade.
  • It acts as a transcription factor, directly regulating gene expression.

    • What is the significance of the amplification process in water-soluble hormone action?

    What is the significance of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the water-soluble hormone signaling pathway?

    <p>ATP is converted to cAMP by adenylate cyclase, acting as a source of energy for the signaling cascade. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Which of the following statements accurately describes synergistic hormonal interactions?

    <p>Synergistic interactions occur when two hormones working together produce a stronger effect than when acting individually. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers
