Why does testosterone, a lipid-soluble signaling molecule that crosses the membranes of all cells, affect only target cells?

#SCPH01 Biochemistry
  1. Only target cells retain the appropriate genes regulated by testosterone.

  2. Intracellular receptors for testosterone are present only in target cells.

  3. Only target cells possess the cytosolic enzymes that transduce the signal from testosterone to adenylyl cyclase.

  4. Only in target cells is testosterone able to initiate the phosphorylation cascade leading to activated transcription factor.

Phenyl-methane-sulfonyl-fluoride (PMSF) inactivates serine proteases by binding covalently to the catalytic serine residue at the active site; this enzyme-inhibitor bond is not cleaved by the enzyme.  This is an example of what kind of inhibition?

Both water and glucose share an —OH that can serve as a substrate for a reaction with the terminal phosphate of ATP catalyzed by hexokinase.  Glucose, however, is about a million times more reactive as a substrate than water.  The best explanation is that:
