Option: 2

Receptors for hormones can only be present on the cell membrane


Option: 3

Nuclear receptors are intracellular receptors


Answers (1)

Receptors for hormones can be present on the cell membrane or within the target cell, depending on the type of hormone. Some hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, bind to receptors on the cell membrane, while others, such as steroid hormones, can pass through the cell membrane and bind to intracellular receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
