Question

4. In the "Assault on the Male" video, how do environmental estrogens "trick" cells by
attaching to cell membranes? How are these environmental estrogens able to attach to cell
membranes? What happens in a cell when this happens?

Answer 1

Estrogens are hormones that are play important roles in the reproductive system.

What are the roles played by estrogen?

The environmental estrogen introduced to the male cells has the ability to recognise the binding sites of the receptors on the male cells.

They are able to attach the the cell membranes by its ability to bind to the cell receptors.

When the binding occurs, there would be a conformational change within the cell leading to:

• modulation of protein synthesis and

• development of the female secondary reproductive characteristics.
