3. (5 pts) The chemical properties of hormones restricts the manner in which they are handled. Assign the features below as primary characteristics of either the amino-acid based (AAB) hormones or the steroid (S) hormones hydrophobic hormones cell surface receptors for sensing hormone pass through the blood bound to proteins cross membranes through simple diffusion can remain stored inside cells have some protection from degradation in the blood are released very much like neurotransmitters cytosolic protein receptors cannot easily be stored in cells hydrophilic hormones

Explanation / Answer

1.      Hydrophobic hormones-steroid hormones

2.      Surface receptor to sense hormone-Proteins (amino acids)

3.      Pass through the blood bound to proteins – proteins hormones

4.      Cross membrane through simple diffusion-steroid hormones

5.      Can remain stored inside the cell- Steroid hormones

6.      Have some protection from degradation in the blood- Steroid hormones (Secreted in lipid vacuoles which provide protection while transported in blood)

7.      Are released very much like neurotransmitters- Steroid hormones

8.      Cytosolic protein receptors- Steroid hormones

9.      Cannot be easily stored in cell- protein hormones (hormones which cannot pass the cell membrane less likely to be stored in the cell)

10. Hydrophilic hormones- protein hormones (containing polar amino acids)
