Question

Host water soluble hormones must be attached to a transport protein in order to be circulated. True False If the effect of two or more hormones acting together is greater than the sum of each of those hormones acting alone, then the two hormones are said to have a permissive effect. True False Paracrine hormones are secreted into the blood stream are secreted into a duct act on the neighboring cell act on the cell that secreted them Which one of the following hormones is NOT a steroid hormone? estrogen progesterone cortisol human growth hormone

Explanation / Answer

Question 1:

False
Most water soluble hormones must not be attached to a transport protein to be circulated. They can move freely through the blood. They just need carrier protein help while entering a cell.

Question 2:

False
Synergistic effect is when 2 or more hormones acting together have a effect greater than the effect of individual hormones. Permissive effect of one hormone enhances the effect of other.

Question 3:

Paracrine hormones act on the neighbouring cell. Autocrine hormones act on the cells that secrete them and endocrine hormones are secreted in the blood stream.

Question 4:

Human Growth Hormone. All others are steroid hormones produced by steroid glands.
