Which of the following is characteristics of a steroid hormone action? - internal receptor binding -second messenger activation -protein phosphorylation -cell-surface receptor binding -exchanger of gdp with gtp

The correct answer is Internal receptor binding.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. There are varios steriod hormone present inside our body such as Testosterone,glucocorticoid, mineralocortocoid, coticosterone etc.

                 Steroid hormone are hydrophobic in nature as a result they can cross the plasma membrane and binds to the receptor present in either nucleus or cytoplasm.

                          After binding to the rceceptor the receptor hormone complex interract with specific DNA sequence known as steroid hormone responsive element which further leads to the transcription of that DNA resulting in the formtion of mRNA that further enters into the translation process to synthesize specific protein associated with the functioning of that hormone .

a

explanation:

it would lead to upper respiratory infections and pneumonia.
