Cell Signalling and Transduction
Which of the following is true about a hydrophilic signaling molecule?

It is a steroid
It might trigger a signal cascade that causes some effect in a cell

Cell Signalling and Transduction
The signaling molecules called steroid hormones

are made in one location of the body but have their effects some distance away
bind to cell surface receptors to trigger chemical cascades
never enter the blood of humans
are hydrophilic and so cannot penetrate the plasma membrane
