When a hormone molecule binds to a specific protein on the plasma membrane the protein it binds to is called?
... a receptor protein.
Which cell contains membrane proteins en- abling a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane?
The cell membrane contains the membrane proteins that enable a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane. These proteins, such as receptor proteins, are responsible for recognizing and binding to specific hormones, allowing the hormone to exert its effects on the cell.
Is hormone reception a function of intergral membrane proteins?
Yes it is !
Where is the receptor for cortisol found?
Receptors of protein hormones are present in plasma membrane but for steroid hormones no membrane receptors are needed as they can enter cell membrane , mobile receptors pic steroid hormones from cell membrane and carry them to nucleus .
What is found in or on a hormone's target cell?
Hormone receptor

What is the membrane protein's function?
Membrane proteins have many different functions; many are involved in transport across the cell membrane, such as channels, carriers and pumps (e.g .the Na/K-ATPase and P-glycoprotein), others are hormone receptors (e.g. EGFR and the insulin receptor) or confer structure to the cell membrane.

How is hormone specificity achieved?
each hormone receptor only binds to one hormone
A hormone must target cells that have a receptor for it?
Yes they do if they want to go through the membrane except steroids they can go directly through
What is found in or on a hormone's target cell?
Hormone receptor
When a signal molecule such as a growth hormone binds to a receptor protein in the plasma membrane it stays on the outside of the cell. How might the inside of the cell know that the signal has bound?
Due to a conformational change of the receptor protein....
Which type of hormone receptor-plasma membrane bound or intracellular- would be expected to provide the most long lived response to hormone binding and why?
Intracellular receptor responses would be longer since they create a hormone-receptor complex which stimulates the production of mRNA, which then creates proteins. This complex must be degraded over time. Also, the entire process takes longer.

Define receptor of body?
A receptor is located on a cell membrane. Any neuronic transmission, hormone, etc. that cannot get inside of the cell's membrane will sit on the receptor in order to pass its message along to the cell. When the molecule sits on the receptor, it causes a series of reactions to occur inside of the cell. From the series of reactions that occur inside of the cell, the message is passed along, and the cell will perform as indicated by the molecule on the cell receptor.
Hormone and receptor interactions are based on?
The target cell, the receptor, and the species.
