What will happen at the last part after a water-soluble hormone approaches its target cell?

AThe hormone’s signal will be transduced through the cytoplasm of the target cell
BThe hormone’s signal will interact with the target cell’s DNA
CThe target cell will make proteins that alter the cell’s function
DThe hormone’s signal will enter the nucleus

Verified Answer :

AThe hormones's signal will be transcended through the cytoplasm of the target cell.

The reason is that water soluble hormones are not lipid -soluble and cannot diffuse through cell membranes.

Answer:

The correct answer is the option:

A. The hormone’s signal will be transduced through the cytoplasm of the target cell


Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!


The correct answer is the option:

A. The hormone’s signal will be transduced through the cytoplasm of the target cell


This happens because since the hormones are soluble in water, they are hydrophilic. On the other hand, they have no affinity with lipids and the cell membrane is a phospholipid membrane, so they will not be able to cross it.
