- Which of the statements is/are incorrect for hormones? 1) Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals serving as intercellular messengers. 2) Hormones are molecules of low molecular weight and are produced in traces. 3) Hormones give energy and also effect metabolism and growth activities of target cells. 4) Many hormones are produced in inactive form.arrow_forwardList the anterior pituitary hormones that have the alpha subunit in common. Which other hormone shares the same alpha subunit? Describe in 1-2 sentences if you had to design an immunoassay to detect each of those hormones, how you would ensure that your assay is specific for your hormone of interest?arrow_forwardExplain how the chemical nature of the plasma membrane acts on the two chemical categories of hormones, and thus the type of response each hormone can induce in a target cell.
