MCQ
Receptors of hormones are generally:
- ACarbohydrates
- BVitamins
- CLipids
- DProtiens
✓
Answer
- Protiens
Explanation:
Receptors of hormones are generally proteins.
Hormones affect distant cells by binding to specific receptor proteins in the target cell resulting in a change in cell function.
When a hormone binds to the receptor, it results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway.
This may lead to cell type-specific responses that include rapid non-genomic effects or slower genomic responses where the hormones acting through their receptors activate gene transcription, resulting in increased expression of target proteins.
