Competence is the ability of a cell by which it can respond towards a signal.
Cells have proteins called receptors that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a response.Different receptors are specific for different molecules. That means that they will respond only to that signal. Your eyes respond to light but your ears do not.There are hundreds of receptor types found in cells, and varying cell types have different populations of receptors.
A signal transduction pathway is a group of proteins that carry out transducing signals (which means it converts signals from outside the cell to a different signal inside the cell). A good example can be viewed when a hormone binds to the receptor in the plasma membrane (outside the cell), the receptor which has now been activated can now interact with intercellular proteins which produce new signals inside the cell.
Some cell receptor is held with it some proteins that transform the signal when a particular ligand is bind. When a ligand binds to a receptor it results in conformation changes in the receptor. The receptor interact with the other protein attached to it and mediate signal transduction by producing some secondary messengers that's how the signal is amplified and create a respond.... (eg., G -Protein coupled receptor)

Different cels respond to stimuli in different ways.Forexample,HL-60 cells differentiate to monocytes/macrophages when they exposed to vitamine D3 but they differentiate into granulocytes when they exposed to retinoc acid.
The Specificity of Cell Signaling and Coordination of the Response The explanation for the specificity exhibited in cellular responses to signals: different kinds of cells have different collections of proteins. (This is because different kinds of cells turn on different sets of genes). The response of a particular cell depends on its particular collection of signal receptor proteins, relay proteins, and proteins needed to carry out the response. Two cells that respond differently to the same signal differ in one or more of the proteins that handle and respond to the signal. Although cells A, B and C all have the same receptor protein, differences in other proteins account for their differences in responses.
It will only respond if it has a receptor for that signal
