The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to identify where steroid hormones and protein hormones bind and what they promote. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the type of receptors for steroid hormones**: - Steroid hormones are lipophilic (fat-soluble) molecules. They can easily pass through the cell membrane and bind to receptors located inside the cell. - These receptors are typically found in the cytoplasm or nucleus of the target cells, known as **intracellular receptors**. 2. **Determine what steroid hormones promote**: - Once steroid hormones bind to their intracellular receptors, they often promote the synthesis of proteins by influencing gene expression in the nucleus. Therefore, they promote **protein synthesis**. 3. **Identify the type of receptors for protein hormones**: - Protein hormones are generally hydrophilic (water-soluble) and cannot easily cross the cell membrane. Instead, they bind to receptors located on the surface of the cell membrane. - These receptors are known as **cell membrane receptors**. 4. **Summarize the findings**: - Steroid hormones bind with **intracellular receptors** and promote **protein synthesis**. - Protein hormones bind with **cell membrane receptors**. ### Final Answer: Steroid hormones bind with **intracellular receptors** and promote **protein synthesis**, while protein hormones bind with **cell membrane receptors**. ---
