Hormones bring about their characteristic effects by altering target cell activity. True or False

Answer: The statement is true

Explanation:

The function of different hormones is to control the activity of levels of target tissues or cells.

To achieve this, hormones may

- ALTER the permeability of target cells

- activate some other cellular mechanism like enzyme synthesis in target cells; the formation of second messengers e. g cAMP, cGMP, prostaglandins etc to exert their function within the cells when direct entry is not possible

So, the statement is true.
