Plasma membrane

D

Nucleus

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Hormones are called chemical signals that stimulate specific target tissues. Their specificity is due to the presence of signal receiving 'receptors' only in the respective target tissues. In case of hormones of protein nature receptors present on plasma membrane.
