Question

Water soluble hormones ____. ​
A)are derived from cholesterol
B)interact with DNA receptors
C)include estrogen and testosterone
D)pass through target cell membranes
E)require second messenger systems

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water soluble hormones cannot pass through the target cell membrane because they are polar and would not be able to dissolve through the nonpolar lipid bilayer. Instead, they require second messenger systems to transmit their signal inside the cell. Choices A, B, and C involve hormones that are not water soluble, and choice D is incorrect because water soluble hormones cannot pass through target cell membranes.
