Question

A hormone passing through the body is hydrophobic. What can we conclude about this hormone?

The hormone is water-soluble
The hormone consists of many amines
The hormone consists of many lipids and fats
The hormone is unlikely to travel through the bloodstream

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrophobic (fat soluble) hormones like the steroid hormones do not attach to surface receptors. They break off from their blood transport proteins and then pass right through the cell and nuclear membranes attaching to receptors near or on specific regions of DNA (genes).
