Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormones often act to produce indirect effects on reactions occurring at some distance from the site of hormone production. One common mechanism is through binding to receptors on target cells, which can activate or inhibit intracellular signaling pathways that ultimately affect biochemical reactions.

Answer: E 
 Hormones can also alter the properties of substrates and enzymes in the target reaction, either by modifying their structure or by affecting their activity. For example, insulin binds to receptors on liver and muscle cells, leading to increased glucose uptake and glycolysis, as well as increased glycogen synthesis and decreased gluconeogenesis.
