Some hormones react with specific receptor sites on a cell membrane and stimulate what?
A) Meiosis
B) Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)
C) Increase in hormonal inactivity
D) Decrease in hormonal activity
B
Feedback:
Some hormones react with specific receptor sites on a cell membrane to stimulate the nucleotide cAMP within the cell to elicit an effect. Hormones that react with specific receptor sites do not stimulate miosis, or a change in amount of hormonal activity, either an increase or decrease, which would be regulated by a negative feedback mechanism.
