Hormone X produces anti-inflammatory reactions and suppresses the immune response. Hormone Y acts on both the pancreas and gall bladder to stimulate the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice. Based on their chemical nature, identify the most likely location of the receptors for Hormone X and Hormone Y respectively.

Step-by-step solution

Hormone X produces anti-inflammatory reactions and suppresses the immune response, which identifies it as cortisol. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid (steroid hormone). Steroid hormones are lipid-soluble and bind to intracellular receptors (mostly nuclear receptors). Hormone Y stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice, which identifies it as cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK is a peptide hormone. Peptide hormones are water-soluble and bind to membrane-bound receptors on the surface of target cells. Therefor
