The endocrine system regulates physiological processes through the binding of hormones to ________ on target cells.
A)receptors
B)endoplasmic reticula
C)genes
D)membranes
E)microvilli

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endocrine system uses hormones to communicate with target cells. These hormones bind to specific receptors on the target cell's membrane, which triggers a biochemical response within the cell. The other choices mentioned (endoplasmic reticula, genes, membranes, microvilli) may play a role in certain physiological processes, but they are not the primary target for hormone binding and signaling in the endocrine system.
