50
Q

how do you concentrate any substance in the body?

A

with an ATPase

51
Q

how does secondary active transport work?

A

going with a concentration gradiant using another substance’s gradent

52
Q

what is the most common gradient used for secondary active transport?

53
Q

what is true for all fat soluble and steroid hormone receptors?

A

they never have cellular membrane receptors because they readily cross the membrane.

54
Q

where are fat soluble and steroid hormone receptors located?

A

in the nucleus (except for cortisol with a cytoplasmic receptor)

55
Q

how do nuclear receptors work?

A

stimulate the nucleus to perform DNA replication, transcription, and translation into proteins by which they manifest their action

Q

how do you differentiate between one fat soluble hormone and another?

A

by the proteins they make
