E. None of the above

F. A & D

Explanation / Answer

1 a. True. A non steroid hormone which do not enter the cell but binds to receptors on it acts as secondary messenger.

2 a True. Upregulation of receptors means decreased sensitivity to the hormone.

3 b. With the increase in Na+

6e. none of these number of oxygen molecules match the requirement.
