Refer to the illustration. if a hormone attached to the receptor protein shown in the diagram, the receptor protein would

change the shape of the hormone

become a phospholipid molecule

trigger events within the cell

detach and move into the cytoplasm

The correct answer is the receptor protein would trigger events within the cell.

Explanation:

From the given picture in the question ,one can easily say that the receptor is a cell surface receptor.As a result receptor molecule will interact with the peptide hormone leading to the formation of hormone receptor complex.

     The hormone receptor complex then moves into the nucleus of the target cell and binds to the specific sequence of DNA called hormone responsive element which then trigger various events according to the cell"s need.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
