Answer 1

Answer

1. Option C is the right answer as hormone normally release into blood and reach to the target cell and bind with their specific receptor.

2. Option D is the right answer as hormone regulates the vital system of body, growth, reproduction, and metabolism

3. Option A is the right answer as steroid hormones are small nonpolar molecules which can easily diffuse through the plasma membrane and bind with the cytosolic receptor.

4. Option B is the right answer.
