Hello everyone here we have a question saying below are four statements regarding hormones. One, they are produced by various glands present in the body. That is correct, too. They are transported to their target cells via blood, that is correct. three. They elicit a response in the target cells via specific receptor. That is correct. For some hormones share receptors in order to elicit a response. If they act on the same target cells that is incorrect, hormones do not share receptors. Each hormone binds to its specific receptor in order to elicit a response in a target cell so four is incorrect. So choose the option that contains all the true statements regarding hormones. The answer is C 12 and three. Thank you for watching. Bye!
