Awater-soluble hormone approaches its target cell. which of the following happens first?

the hormone's signal is transduced through the cytoplasm of the target cell.
the hormone's signal enters the nucleus and interacts with the target cell's dna.
the hormone molecule enters the nucleus and binds with dna.
the hormone molecule binds to a receptor within the cytoplasm

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice "The hormone's signal is transduced through the cytoplasm of the target cell."


Water-soluble hormones include glycoproteins, catecholamines, and peptide hormones composed of polypeptides, e.g. thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and insulin. These molecules are not lipid-soluble and therefore cannot diffuse through cell membranes.
 
I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
