[单选题]
Which of the following is only able to trigger a resppkueug +vhpr-b7/u;/k z c5squ;xz 94onse in a celdtl48cc ah 1w0l by binding to a receptor in thed a4 cch01tlw8 plasma membrane?
A. Insulin
B. Testosterone
C. Oestradiol
D. Progesterone
参考答案: A
本题详细解析:
A Choice A is correct because insulin is a peptide hormone, which is polar so cannot directly pass through the plasma membrane. Instead it binds to receptors in the plasma membrane which triggers intracellular signalling pathways. Choices B, C and D are all incorrect, as they are all non-polar steroids so can diffuse through the plasma membrane and bind directly to receptors inside the cell, affecting gene expression.
