Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a) : Steroid hormones, being hydrophobic molecules, diffuse freely into all cells and act within the cell. Steroid hormones enter the cytoplasm of a target cell and bind with specific receptor proteins (mobile). Hormone-receptor complex then diffuses into nucleus and activates specific genes to form a new protein. This protein carries out the specific response for a particular steroid hormone.
