Q. Correct order of action of hydrophilic hormones I. Hormones bind to plasma membrane II. Physiological response III. Biochemical response IV. Generation of secondary messenger Choose the correct option
A) I, II, III, IV
B) II, I, III, IV
C) I, IV, III, II
D) III, I, II, IV
Explanation
General steps in hydrophilic or water soluble or protein nature hormone action Hormone binds to plasma membrane to specific site (Receptor) $\downarrow$ Response-I (Given by receptor) Generation of secondary messenger (cyclic AMP or $Ca^{2 +}$ etc) $\downarrow$ Biochemical Responses $\downarrow$ Physiological Responses $e.g.,$ Ovarian growth, etc.
