Assertion (A). Hormones interacting with...

Assertion (A). Hormones interacting with cell surface receptors do not enter the target but they generate second messenger
Reason (R ). Glucocorticoids bind to intracellular receptors and regulate gene expression

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false

D

A is false and R is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Some hormones that are insoluble in lipids do not affect a physiological process directly. instead they activate secondary messenger that convey the information to the target cells. On the other hand glucocorticoids are steroid hormones, that can directly affect the gene expression.

Hormones which interact with the membrane - bound receptors normally do not enter the target cell but generate second messengers. These second messengers are referred as

Assertion: Hormones which interact with membrane- bound receptor, enter the target cell and generate the secondary messengers that regulates cellular metabolism. Reason: Estrogen have the membrane bound receptor.

Read the following statements and select the correct option. Statement A : Only steroid hormones are able to cross the cell membrane and act via intracellular receptors. Statement B : Steroid hormones stimulate regulatory genes present on the chromosomes and thus regulate gene expression

Why do some hormones need to trigger a 'second messenger' to activate a target cell?

Read the given paragraph and select the option that correctly fills the blanks in it. Hormones produce their effect on target tissue by binding to specific A called hormone receptors located in the target tissues only water soluble hormones usually need B receptor that generate C messenger for regulating through cell membrane and bind to E receptors, mostly nuclear receptors. The hormone receptor complex enter the nucleus and moslty regulate gene expression or chromosome function by interaction of hormone receptor complex with the genone.

Hormone that acts by entering Into nucleus, Interacts with Its receptor and binds to specific regulator site on the genome, thereby altering gene expression Is
