Question

What statement correctly describes the relationship among endocrine glands, target cells, water-soluble hormones, and lipid-soluble hormones? Multiple Choice Endocrine glands secrete water-soluble honmones ond lipld-soluble hormones that bind to torget cells. Endocrine glands release water-soluble harmones, and target cells release lipid-soluble hormones. Endocrine glands produce lipid-soluble and water-soluble hormones, and target cells secrete them. Endocrine glends are affected by both water-soluble hormones and lipid-soluble hormones that are released by target cells.

Explanation / Answer

The endocrine system is the one which are responsible for producing and releasing the hormones. The endocrine glands release both water and fat-soluble hormones which are then attached to the target cell. The hormone is attached to receptor that is present on the surface of the target cell triggering a chemical reaction. The fat soluble hormones bind to the receptors which are present inside the target. In both the cases they bind to the target.

The right answer is

Endocrine glands secrete water soluble hormones and lipid soluble hormones that bind to target cells.
