How do hormones interact with membrane-bound receptors?

How do hormones interact with membrane-bound receptors?
  1. By entering the target cell
  2. By forming a hormone-receptor complex
  3. By generating second messengers
  4. By regulating gene expression or chromosome function

Solution

Hormones that interact with membrane-bound receptors generate second messengers like cyclic AMP, IP3, Ca²⁺ etc which regulate cellular metabolism.
