Vedclass · Answer

(A) Hormones exert their physiological effects by binding to specific proteins called hormone receptors located in the target tissues.These receptors are either present on the cell membrane (for peptide hormones) or inside the cell (for steroid hormones).The hormone-receptor complex formation is essential for triggering the biochemical changes within the target cell that lead to the physiological response.If the receptor molecule is removed or absent,the hormone cannot bind to the target cell,and consequently,the target organ will not be able to recognize or respond to the hormone.
