How Hormones Bind to Receptors Study the following steps showing how an amino-acid-based hormone changes the activities of its target cells. Determine the order in which the steps take place. Write the number of each step in the space provided. 1. The second messenger activates or deactivates certain enzymes in a cascade fashion. 2. A second messenger is activated. 3. The activity of the target cell is changed by the final enzyme in the cascade. 4. The shape of the receptor protein changes. 5. An amino-acid-based hormone binds to a receptor protein. Study the following steps showing how a steroid hormone changes the activities of its target cells. Determine the order in which the steps take place. Write the number of each step in the space provided. 6. The hormone attaches to a receptor in the cytoplasm, forming a hormone-receptor complex. 7. Proteins that alter the cell's activities, such as enzymes, are made. 8. The steroid hormone passes through the cell membrane. 9. A gene in the DNA is activated, and transcription and translation take place. 10. The hormone-receptor complex enters the nucleus of the cell and binds to the DNA.
