Relationship between receptor protein and signal molecule?
Depending on what harmone it is, the hormone will attach to the receptor protein if the shape of the hormone and the receptor protein correspond.
Which substances are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals?
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.
Which of the choices below is not a factor required for target cell activation by hormone receptor interaction?
A type of hormone
How do hormones send messages?
The cells that react to a given hormone have special receptors for that hormone. When a hormone attaches to the receptor protein a mechanism for signaling is activated.
Which type of hormone receptor-plasma membrane bound or intracellular- would be expected to provide the most long lived response to hormone binding and why?
Intracellular receptor responses would be longer since they create a hormone-receptor complex which stimulates the production of mRNA, which then creates proteins. This complex must be degraded over time. Also, the entire process takes longer.

How is hormone specificity achieved?
each hormone receptor only binds to one hormone
What is found in or on a hormone's target cell?
Hormone receptor
Which hormone receptor bounds to DNA even when the receptor is empty?
Thyroid hormose
What hormone receptor is always bound to DNA even when the receptor is empty?
Thyroid
What is the test for the presence of a hormone receptor on breast cancer cells?
Estrogen receptor assay
How many type of hormones and receptrs meet?
There are several different types of hormones and receptors that meet. The types are peptide hormone receptor, lipid-soluable hormone receptor, thyroid stimulating hormone, insulin hormone, leutinizing hormone, and many more.

What is most likely affected by a mutation in the DNA binding domain of a steroid hormone receptor?
A mutation in the DNA binding domain of a steroid hormone receptor is most likely to affect the receptor's ability to bind to specific DNA sequences known as hormone response elements (HREs). This can impair the receptor's ability to activate or repress target genes and disrupt the normal functioning of the steroid hormone signaling pathway.
Does cholesterol function as a hormone receptor in the plasma membrane?
NO!
Which substances are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals?
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.
Why does hormone act only on specific cell types in a organism and not others?
Hormones can only be detected by cells that have the specific receptor which binds to the hormone. This means that the hormone only acts on the cells with its receptor and the other cells do not respond.
The area of an oestrogen receptor where molecules of oestradiol fit?
Hormone.
