When a steroid hormone and a polypeptide hormone exert similar effects on a population of target cells, then ________.

#Biochemistry
  1. the steroid and polypeptide hormones must use the same biochemical mechanisms
  2. the steroid and polypeptide hormones must bind to the same receptor protein
  3. the steroid hormones affect the synthesis of effector proteins, whereas polypeptide hormones activate effector proteins already present in the cell
  4. the steroid hormones affect the activity of certain proteins within the cell, whereas polypeptide hormones directly affect the processing of mRNA

I) Steroid hormones are lipid soluble and easily cross the phospholipid bilayer.

II) Steroid hormones usually exert their effects on target cells through membrane receptor proteins.

#Biochemistry

Tadpoles must undergo a major metamorphosis to become frogs. This change includes reabsorption of the tail, growth of limbs, calcification of the skeleton, increase in rhodopsin in the eye, development of lungs, change in hemoglobin structure, and reformation of the gut from the long gut of an herbivore to the short gut of a carnivore. Amazingly, all of these changes are induced by thyroxine. What is the most likely explanation for such a wide array of effects of thyroxine?
