    Steroids bind receptors ____

    • Inside the cell membrane

    • Extracellularly

    • Intracellularly

    Correct Answer
    A. Intracellularly
    Explanation
    Steroids bind receptors intracellularly because they are lipid-soluble molecules that can easily pass through the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, steroids bind to specific intracellular receptors located in the cytoplasm or nucleus. This binding activates the receptor and initiates a series of cellular responses, including changes in gene expression. Unlike other signaling molecules that bind receptors on the cell membrane, steroids directly affect gene transcription and protein synthesis within the cell.
