Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Insulin is a protein hormone which is water soluble. Water so,luble hormone require extracellular receptors that generatre second messengers for carrying out their activity. Insulin binds to its specific receptor molecule located on the plasma membrane to form the hormone receptor complex, (HRC) which in turn generate second messengers that regulate cellular mechanism. Water soluble hormones (a.g., amono aci dderivatives, peptides and protein hormones) do not enter the target cell.

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.
