A steroid hormone acts on a target cell by?
When receptors bind at the surface of a membrane, second messengers are released. This is how peptide hormones and catecholamines affect target organ cells.
Are surface protein receptors protein?
Yes, surface receptors are made of protein units in cells.
What hormone requires a G-protein?
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell surface receptors, they mediate a response to a huge variety of signalling molecules (eg. hormones). A few examples of hormones that use GPCRs are; adrenalin, prostaglandins and glucagon.
What are the five general areas of sensation?
General sensory receptors such as light touch and temperature receptors are located over the entire surface of the body. There are no specific areas where these receptors are located.
Where is the receptors taste are located at?
Most are located on the dorsal surface of the tongue. A few are found on the soft palate, epiglottis, pharynx, and inner surface of the cheeks.
What is the lipophobic molecule that interacts with receptors on cell surface?
Peptide Hormone. If you are using Mastering A and P and have to manually type the answer, then make sure that your answer is submitted such that the multiple choice letter comes first. Ex: A, peptide hormone
The receptors for catecholamine and polypeptide hormones are found?
on the outer surface of the target cell
A steroid hormone acts on a target cell by?
When receptors bind at the surface of a membrane, second messengers are released. This is how peptide hormones and catecholamines affect target organ cells.
What is the definition of body hormone?
A hormone is a chemical compound which is secreted by a gland into the blood and it is carried through blood to a distant site where it acts. Hormones can be divided into five major classes: (1) amino acid derivatives such as dopamine, catecholamines, and thyroid hormone; (2)small neuropeptides such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), somatostatin, and vasopressin; (3) large proteins such as insulin, luteinizing hormone (LH), and PTH produced by classic endocrine glands; (4) steroid hormones such as cortisol and estrogen that are synthesized from cholesterol-based precursors; and (5) vitamin derivatives such as retinoids (vitamin A) and vitamin D. A variety of peptide growth factors, most of which act locally, share actions with hormones. As a rule, amino acid derivatives and peptide hormones interact with cell-surface membrane receptors. Steroids, thyroid hormones, vitamin D, and retinoids are lipid-soluble and interact with intracellular nuclear receptors.

Which hormone affect only certain cells?
Because they only activate target cells that have special receptors that only work when that specific hormone attaches to it.
In circumstances where the body requires prolonged or increased levels of a hormone the DNA of target cells will specify the synthesis of more receptors on the surface of the cells of the target organ?
This statement is true, it's called up regulation.
What characteristics do all cells surface receptors share?

What is the function of ardenocorticotroptic hormone?
ardenocorticotroptic (ACTH) acts through the stimulation of cell surface ACTH receptors, which are located primarily on adrenocortical cells of the adrenal cortex. This results in the synthesis and secretion of gluco- and mineralo-corticosteroids and androgenic steroids.hope i helped !!
