MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 The steroid hormones produced by the smooth endoplasmic reticulum would be stored in which of the following ways?
    		 

    A

    		 Peroxisomes, so the hormones could aid in lipid breakdown.

    B

    		 Steroid hormones are not stored; because they are lipophilic they are able to diffuse through lipid bilayers.

    C

    		 Secretory vesicles, so the hormones could be released when needed.

    D

    		 Lysosomes, so the hormone could aid in the breakdown and destruction of excess secretory products.
