PES How do nonsteroid hormones differ from steroid hormones? Nonsteroid hormones act via a second messenger system steroid hormones do not use a second messenger system Nonsteroid hormones bind to cytoplasmic receptors, steroid hormones bind to plasma membrane receptors. The action of nonsteroid hormones never affects gene expression, the action of steroid hormones always affects gene expression Nonsteroid hormones are fat-soluble; steroid hormones are water-soluble. Nonsteroid hormones bind to acell's DNA:sterold hormones do not bind DNA U Question 5 1 pts Given the following situation: You are driving a car and are stopped at a red light. When it turns green, you step on the gas and accelerate forward in a straight line. How does yourbody detect this acceleration? Chemoreceptors in the ear detect the movement of ions through the ear canal as your body moves in relation to the air around you. The fluid in the semicircular canals move the hair cells which causes you to perceive the linear acceleration Electromagnetic receptors in your ears detect a change in the magnetic field around your body because acceleration of your body causes a change in its position compared to the Earth's magnetic poles. Otoliths lag behind during linear acceleration and stimulate the hair cells in your inner ear so you can perceive the movement.
