Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Hormones are chemicals that are produced in the body and meet specific criteria. All hormones are produced in very small amounts and are secreted directly into the bloodstream. They travel in the blood to specific receptor sites throughout the body and are immediately broken down.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The goal of cancer therapy, much like that of anti-infective therapy, is to limit the offending cells to the degree that the immune system can then respond without causing too much toxicity to the host. Therefore, options B, C, and D are not correct.
