Answer:
The above statement is false.
Explanation:
During up-regulation a cell tends to increase its number of receptors. During down regulation, loss of receptors takes place.
During up regulation the cell tends to become more sensitive to a particular hormone. Up-regulation occurs when the concentration of a hormone is very little. This method is useful because when the concentration of a hormone are less, increasing the hormone receptors increases the chances of the cell to interact with the hormone.
