### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Hormones**: - Hormones can be classified into two main categories: lipid-soluble hormones and lipid-insoluble hormones. 2. **Lipid-Soluble Hormones**: - Lipid-soluble hormones, such as steroid hormones, can easily pass through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. They do not require specific receptors for entry into the cell; instead, they directly enter the cell and exert their effects. ...

Read the given paragraph and select the option that correctly fills the blanks in it. Hormones produce their effect on target tissue by binding to specific A called hormone receptors located in the target tissues only water soluble hormones usually need B receptor that generate C messenger for regulating through cell membrane and bind to E receptors, mostly nuclear receptors. The hormone receptor complex enter the nucleus and moslty regulate gene expression or chromosome function by interaction of hormone receptor complex with the genone.
