Target cells are cells that have specific receptors for a hormone or external signal, allowing them to respond to the signal. Non-target cells do not have receptors for the hormone or signal, so they do not respond to it. Target cells are the primary sites of action for hormones, while non-target cells are unaffected by the hormone.

What is the difference between an endocrine cell and a target cell?

the endocrine cell has a jelly like substance and so so it drops off it in the blood vessel and so target cells make hormones in the blood vessel to bind into thereceptor on a target cell sometimes a target cell is very close or far away


What best describes a difference between eukaryotic and paokaryotic cells?

One key difference is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.


What is one difference between the animal and plant cell?

One major difference between animal and plant cells is the presence of a cell wall in plant cells but not in animal cells. The cell wall provides structural support and protection in plant cells, while animal cells rely on other structures for support.


Between which cell types is the difference greater-plant and animal cells or prokaryotic and eukaryote cells?

Although both have their differences, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have the greater difference. The only major differences between plant and animal cells is that plants have a vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall, while animal cells do not. Plant cells produce their own food, while animal cells mist consume food to obtain energy. The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is much larger. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and all other organelles. They have only one circular chromosome, and a plasmid. Eukaryotic cells are much more complex.
