- ACarbohydrates
- BVitamins
- CLipids
- ✓Protiens
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Protiens
Receptors of hormones are generally proteins.
Hormones affect distant cells by binding to specific receptor proteins in the target cell resulting in a change in cell function.
When a hormone binds to the receptor, it results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway.
This may lead to cell type$-$specific responses that include rapid non$-$genomic effects or slower genomic responses where the hormones acting through their receptors activate gene transcription, resulting in increased expression of target proteins.
