Question

In addition to epinephrine, your body also releases a steroid that responds to stress. Epinephrine wears off quickly, but the steroid, corticosterone, can last hours. Where we would predict that corticosterone (the signaling molecule) would bind to its receptor?Group of answer choicesa) plasma membraneb) receptor proteinc) nucleus

Answer 1

The answer should be A) The plasma membrane.

Corticosteroids are lipophilic (they tend to combine with lipids or fats,) so they are able to enter the plasma membrane where they bind to their receptors.

Hope this is accurate & helpful!
