The target receptor proteins of cells will cause them to affected by a specific protein.
These cells are also called "target" cells.
Hormones flow via the bloodstream throughout the entire body, but they only affect their specific "target" cells.

What determines if a cell is a target cell for a particular hormone?
If the signal molecule is able to fit through the cell membrane, it will bind to an intracellular receptor, if it cannot pass through the cell membrane, it will bind to an external membrane-surface receptor.
What part of the cell determines what goes in and out of the cell?
The membrane of the cell is what determines comes in and out of it.
When a small amount of one hormone allows a second hormone to have its full effect the phenomenon is called?

What contains information that determines a cell's purpose and function?
The cell nucleus, which contains the DNA which determines a cell's purpose and function.
What part of a cell determines the characteristic of a living thing?
The DNA in a cell determines the characteristics of living things
How do signal molecules change how a cell will function?
Signal molecules act as a neurotransmitter or a hormone, which both effect how a cell functions.
Why target cell respond to the hormone while others are uneffected?
Target cells respond to hormones because they have specific receptors for the hormone on their cell membrane or inside the cell. These receptors enable the hormone to bind and initiate a cellular response. Other cells that do not have the specific receptors for that hormone are unaffected because they cannot bind to the hormone or activate the necessary signaling pathways.

What are first messenger molecules?
A first messenger hormone is essentially the first hormone in a line that will eventually produce an effect.
Does caffeine has the effect of stimulating the cardiovascular response?
Yes. Caffeine has the same effect has epinephrine. The stress hormone stimulates the production of cyclic APM within cells, which is the cellular messenger signaling the cell what to do in response to the hormone. Caffeine has the same effect by inhibiting the breakdown of cAPM, hence causing it to be around longer and therefore influencing what the cell is to do longer.
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.

Leptin refers to a chemical that determines whether or not?
Hunger-hormone :)
Is a thyroid hormone a cell?
A hormone is a chemical, not a cell. They thyroid gland that secretes the thyroid hormone (which is called thyroxin) is composed of cells.
What is found in or on a hormone's target cell?
Hormone receptor
When a hormone opposing the action of another hormone it is called?
antagonistic effect
What determines the fuction of a cel?
The shape of a cell is what determines its function. Cells are surrounded by cell membranes.
