Question 5 of 5
The chemicals of the endocrine system affect their target cells by binding to
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hormones bind receptors (e.g., insulin to tyrosine kinase) on target cells, triggering responses like glucose uptake specificity defines action. Blood cells transport, not bind hormones as targets. Neurotransmitters signal neurons, not endocrine targets separate system. Enzymes process, not receive hormones. Receptor binding distinguishes endocrine signaling, critical for cellular response, unlike transport, neural, or catalytic roles.
