Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroid hormones are able to pass through the cell membrane and bind to a receptor inside the cell. This hormone-receptor complex can then bind to DNA and affect gene expression in the cell. Therefore, a cell that is affected by a particular steroid hormone would be expected to have a receptor inside the cell that binds the hormone.
