By bind with specific receptors, the hormones are able to regulate reproduction, development, energy metabolism, growth, and behavior. The reason why it is important that these functions be activated through hormones (a signaling molecule) is because there is an exact time that these functions need to happen. A caterpillar can't start changing into a butterfly if it hasn't finished its cacoon yet.
