Which is not a steroid based hormone?
List of steroid based hormones: * Glucocorticoids * Mineralocorticoids * Androgen * Estrogen * Progestogen
Why can steroid and thyroid hormones but not amino acid-based hormones move across cell membranes?
b/c steroid and thyroid hormones are fat soluble
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.
Why does most amino acid based hormones bind to cell membrane receptors?
This is because they do not have the ability to pass through the membrane, unlike steroid hormones. Steroid hormones bind inside the cell cytoplasm before docking onto the receptors.
What is the difference between receptors for steroid hormones and Peptide hormone?
Peptide based hormones exert their effects on a cell by way of second messengers (cAMP or PIP) pathways. Steroid based hormones exert their effects on a target cell via direct gene activation.
How are nucleic acids are involved in protein synthesis?
The single-strand uracil-based ribsomal nucleic acid called mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) serves as the "blueprint" in protein synthesis. It carries instructions from DNA (double-stranded thymine-based deoxyribonucelic acid) in a cell's nucleus to a ribosome where protein synthesis is carried out. At the ribosome, rRNA (ribsomal ribonucleic acid) is the central component of the protein synthesis machinery that assembles amino acids to form a protein according to the mRNA information; tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) provides the amino acids specified by the rRNA.
What happens When an aminoacid based hormones attaches to a receptor protein?
i dont kow the answe can you guys help me please
Virtually all of the protein or amino acid-based hormones exert their effects through intracellular?
second messengers
Where does ribosome synthesis take place?
Ribosomal-based protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. Peptides are synthesized by the ribosomes, typically on the rough ER of the cell.
What is peptidation?
Peptidation is a protein synthesis inhibitor. Peptidation is a model based off of RNA selection in the cells of all multicellular organisms.
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.
Chemically hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups called?
Chemically hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups. The two groups are the steroids and the amino acid based molecules.
