Question

question 1 (mandatory) (1.25 points) how does the binding of a hormone to an intracellular receptor, like a steroid hormone receptor, typically result in a cellular response? the activated receptor directly activates a g protein. the receptor-hormone complex translocates to the nucleus to act as a transcription factor. the receptor-hormone complex is degraded by a lysosome. the binding causes the receptor to open an ion channel.

Explanation:

Steroid hormone receptors are intracellular. When a hormone binds, the receptor - hormone complex moves to the nucleus and acts as a transcription factor to regulate gene expression. G - protein activation is for cell - surface receptors. Lysosomal degradation and ion channel opening don't match steroid hormone receptor action.

Answer:

The receptor - hormone complex translocates to the nucleus to act as a transcription factor.
