Why is ethanol soluble in blood?
Blood is mostly water, and ethanol is entirely soluble in water.
Are peptide hormones water soluble?
Both. Some amines such as epinephrine are water soluble while thyroxine is a fat soluble amine
It is impossible for water-soluble hormones to regulate gene expression since only lipid-soluble hormones can penetrate the cell membrane true or false?
false
What is the difference between protein hormones and steroid hormones and how they communicate with their target cells?
Steroid hormones arelipid-soluble and can dissolve easily into the cell membrane of the target cell to connect with receptors. Protein hormones are water-soluble and connect with receptors at the membrane because it can't diffuse through the membrane.
Why are hormone secreting glands richly supplied with blood?
By the definition of hormones; they are organic substances, produced in small quantities in one part of an organism (an endocrine/hormone secreting glands), transported by blood circulation to a target organ or tissue where it has a profound effect. Hormones can be either water soluble /hydrophilic (peptide derivatives) or water insoluble/hydrophobic (steroids). After synthesizing from the glandular tissues, hormones should be effectively transported to the target. Blood is the medium. Therefore these glands have good blood supply.
Why is blood soluble in blood?
Blood is mostly water, and ethanol is entirely soluble in water.
Hormones in the body can be organized into two types fat-soluble and water-soluble what are fat-soluble?
Steroid
What are steroid hormones soluble in?
Lipids (fat-soluble), they can therefore be administered orally.
Why is ethanol soluble in blood?
Blood is mostly water, and ethanol is entirely soluble in water.
Are peptide hormones water soluble?
Both. Some amines such as epinephrine are water soluble while thyroxine is a fat soluble amine
Examples of water soluble and lipid soluble compounds in living organism?
Amino acid based hormones such as Human Growth Hormone is an example of water soluble compounds. Steroid hormones and thyroid hormone are examples of lipid soluble compounds in living humans.
What type of hormones bind to receptors located on the membrane?
Water-soluble hormones. Insulin and epinephrine
It is impossible for water-soluble hormones to regulate gene expression since only lipid-soluble hormones can penetrate the cell membrane true or false?
false
What type of hormones bind to receptors located on cell membrane?
Water-soluble hormones. Insulin and epinephrine
Is calcitonin water soluble?
yes..but Other thyroid Hormones like T4, T3 are fat-soluble unlike calcitonin..
What is the difference and similarities between non steroid hormones and steroid hormones?
Different chemical classes of hormones are made from different substrates and are soluble in different solvents. Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and include: testosterone, aldosterone, cortisol, estradiol and progesterone. They are soluble in lipids (fat-soluble) and can therefore be administered orally. Other kinds of hormones, eg: tyrosine-based hormones and protein hormones, are made from different substances (eg: amino acids) and may be water soluble and therefore cannot be administered orally.
