Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormones can only affect cells that have specific receptor sites for that hormone. This is because the hormone binds to the receptor site on the cell, triggering a response within the cell. This is often how hormones carry out their signaling functions within the body. Hormones are not able to affect all body cells, nor are they limited to only the cells where they are produced, and they do not require the activation of cellular ATP.
