They recognize each other by the presence of specific receptor molecules on the target cells.

Hormones are specific molecules released by endocrine glands into the bloodstream. Each hormone binds to a specific receptor protein on the surface of the target cell. The receptor protein acts like a lock and key, ensuring that only the specific hormone can bind and trigger a cellular response in the target cell.

What recognize a hormone's chemical structure?
A target cell is a cell in the body that recognizes a hormone's chemical structure. It is a cell to which a hormone binds chemically.
What is found in or on a hormone's target cell?
Hormone receptor
What recognizes a hormone's chemical structure?
A target cell is a cell in the body that recognizes a hormone's chemical structure. It is a cell to which a hormone binds chemically.
What cell determine cell activities?
The binding of a hormone to a receptor is the first step. Target cell activation by hormone-receptor interaction depends equally on 3 factors. First the blood levels of the hormone, second ,relative numbers of receptors for that hormone on or in the target cells and the third ,strength of the binding between the hormone cell and the receptors.
What recognizes a hormone's chemical structure in the endocrine system?
Hormone receptors on cell membranes recognize a hormone's chemical structure in the endocrine system. When the hormone binds to the receptor, a cell changes its behavior.
What happens once a hormone reaches a target organ or cell?
Once a hormone reaches it's target organ or cell, it increases or decreases the action in the organ or cell. This occurs with the metabolism of the hormones and cells.
Why do lipid soluble signaling molecules like testosterone cross membranes of all cells but effect only target cells?
Because response of a cell to a signaling requires that the responding cell have receptors that recognize that hormone. Only target cells of a signal have the receptors for the signal.
A nonsteroid hormone enters a target cell by passing across its cell membrane?
false
What is target cell for luteinizing hormone?
The gonads. It stimulate the hormone secretions. Also stimulate ova emission.
Which of the choices below is not a factor required for target cell activation by hormone receptor interaction?
A type of hormone
Hormone and receptor interactions are based on?
The target cell, the receptor, and the species.
How does a hormone identify its target?
Only target cells have receptors inside cytoplazm (for steroid hormones) or on cell membrane (for protein hormones) that make the hormone active.
