O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules bind to receptors located on the cell secreting the signalling molecules. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules bind to receptors located on adjacent cells. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are released into the circulatory system to bind to receptors located on cells in tissues some distance away. O A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are peptide hormones. A cell communication mechanism in which the signalling molecules are steroid hormones.

Suppose that the circulating concentration of hor-mone is 10–10 M and the Kd for binding to its receptor is 10–8M. What fraction of the receptors will have hormone bound?If a meaningful physiological response occurs when 50% ofthe receptors have bound a hormone molecule, how muchwill the concentration of hormone have to rise to elicit aresponse? The fraction of receptors (R) bound to hormone(H) to form a receptor–hormone complex (R–H) is [R–H]/([R] + [R–H]) = [R–H]/[R]TOT = [H]/([H] + Kd).
