Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Mechanism of hormone action is not the same in all categories of hormones. These hormones bind with the specific receptors located in their target tissues. Hormone receptor is of two types: membrane bound receptor and intracelular receptor. FSH is a proteinaceous hormone, has large molecular weight and is insoluble in lipids, therefore, it cannot enter the target cell . Thus, it binds with the membrane bound receptor present on ovarian cell membrane
