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

a. the hormone’s signal will be transduced through the cytoplasm of the target cell
b. the hormone’s signal will interact with the target cell’s dna
c. the target cell will make proteins that alter the cell’s function
d. the hormone’s signal will enter the nucleus

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.

the fossil record provides evidence of a common ancestor to many species.
