Answer: The statement is true
Explanation:
The function of different hormones is to control the activity of levels of target tissues or cells.
To achieve this, hormones may
- ALTER the permeability of target cells
- activate some other cellular mechanism like enzyme synthesis in target cells; the formation of second messengers e.g cAMP, cGMP, prostaglandins etc to exert their function within the cells when direct entry is not possible
So, the statement is true.
