Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Tropic hormones act on other endocrine glands to stimulate the release of their hormones and transmit signalling through cell surface receptors. Reason (R): This action is attributed to their lipophilic nature. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) \
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) \
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct \
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Tropic hormones are protein molecules. Proteins are water-soluble (hydrophilic), meaning they always bind to receptors on the outside of the cell!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
