Vedclass · Answer

(C) Hormones that are water-soluble,such as peptide and amine hormones,cannot cross the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. They bind to specific receptors located on the surface of the target cell membrane. This binding triggers the generation of a second messenger (e.g.,$cAMP$,$IP_3$,or $Ca^{2+}$) inside the cell. The role of the second messenger is to relay the signal from the cell surface to the intracellular metabolic machinery,thereby triggering the appropriate physiological response within the cell.
