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.

A cell may have a different type of receptor that can only bind to one chemical messenger. The effect of the chemical messenger on the cell is dependent on the type of receptor that it binds to. For example, acetylcholine can bind to a nicotinic cholinergic receptor on a neuromuscular junction and cause an excitatory response, but acetylcholine can also bind to a muscarinic cholinergic receptor on the heart's cardiac muscle which can be either excitatory/inhibitory.

Some cells respond to a chemical signal while other cells ignore it based on their structures. This will be determined by the availability of receptors for the messenger molecules.

The transduction process is unique to each cell type; to respond to a signal, different cells require only a similar membrane receptor

It will only respond if it has a receptor for that signal
