Question

Receptors for nonsteroid hormones are located in _____. receptors for nonsteroid hormones are located in _____. the extracellular fluid the cytoplasm the nucleus the cytosol association with a cell's plasma membrane

Answer 1

Nonsteroid hormone receptors are located in association with a cell's plasma membrane and utilize second messengers to relay signals into the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Receptors for nonsteroid hormones are typically located in association with a cell's plasma membrane. These hormones are generally hydrophilic and cannot diffuse through the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, so they rely on membrane-bound receptors to relay their message into the cell. Upon hormone binding, these receptors often trigger a cascade of intracellular events through a mechanism involving a second messenger. This is in contrast to steroid hormones, which can diffuse across the cell membrane and usually have intracellular receptors located in the cytoplasm or directly in the nucleus.

Lipid insoluble hormones, like peptide and amino acid-derived hormones (with the exception of thyroid hormones), bind to receptors on the outer plasma membrane and initiate intracellular signaling cascades without entering the cell themselves.

Answer 2
