Question

question 7
1 pts
the immediate effect of a steroid hormone on a cell is the:
formation of camp.
increase of enzyme - controlled intracellular reactions.
transcription of rna.
activation of adenyl cyclase.

question 8
1 pts
when a small amount of one hormone allows a second hormone to have its full effect, the phenomenon is called:
synergism.
permissiveness.
antagonism.
augmentation.

question 9
1 pts
the somatic senses enable us to detect sensations, including:
touch.
temperature.
pain.
all of the above.

Explanation:

• Question 7: Steroid hormones are lipid - soluble and can enter the cell. Their immediate effect is the transcription of RNA. cAMP formation and adenyl cyclase activation are associated with non - steroid (peptide) hormones. An increase in enzyme - controlled intracellular reactions is a later effect after RNA transcription and protein synthesis.
• Question 8: Permissiveness is when a small amount of one hormone allows a second hormone to have its full effect. Synergism is when two hormones have a greater combined effect than the sum of their individual effects. Antagonism is when one hormone opposes the action of another. Augmentation is not a standard term for this hormonal interaction.
• Question 9: The somatic senses include the ability to detect touch (mechanoreception), temperature (thermoreception), and pain (nociception). So, the somatic senses enable us to detect all of these sensations.

Answer:

• Question 7: transcription of RNA.
• Question 8: permissiveness.
• Question 9: all of the above.
