I'm assuming you're asking what would happen if a receptor did not bind the proper hormone. The answer is a complex one because binding to a receptor does not necessarily mean that the receptor will be activated. Sometimes binding causes receptor inhibition; other times it can mean that the properties of the receptor change so that other hormones have an easier/harder time binding and activating it. But for the sake of giving an answer, let's say that we want to know what happens if a hormone binds and activates the wrong receptor. That answer is a relatively simple one: in most cases, the same events would take place that normally happen when the correct hormone binds the receptor.
Let's take an example of a relatively uncommon cause of hypertension called hypertension exacerbated in pregnancy. In this condition, there's a mutation in the receptor for the hormone aldosterone that allows other hormones besides aldosterone (eg, progesterone) to bind it and activate it. When progesterone levels are high, as in pregnancy, the extra progesterone binds and heavily activates the aldosterone receptor, and the receptor essentially "thinks" that aldosterone has bound. So the action of progesterone at the aldosterone receptor are the same as aldosterone itself; since aldosterone is a major contributor to blood pressure, blood pressure increases to very high levels.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of hormone receptor-plasma membrane bound or intracellular- would be expected to provide the most long lived response to hormone binding and why?
Intracellular receptor responses would be longer since they create a hormone-receptor complex which stimulates the production of mRNA, which then creates proteins. This complex must be degraded over time. Also, the entire process takes longer.

What kind of compound is most likely to mimic the effects of a hormone that influences sexual behavior?
A compound that is structurally and functionally similar to the hormone would be most likely to mimic its effects on sexual behavior. These compounds are called agonists and can bind to the hormone's receptor and trigger a similar response in the body.
Are hormones target molecules or signal molecules?
Hormones affect target cells because target cells have receptors that bind with certain hormones (they're specific). If a cell does not have a receptor then it is not affected by hormones. Target cells (which do have the receptor for a particular hormone) would be affected by the hormone.
Where would steroid hormones most likely interact with their target cell?
Steroid hormones typically interact with their target cells inside the cell, specifically in the cytoplasm or nucleus. Once inside, they bind to specific receptor proteins, forming hormone-receptor complexes that can then modulate gene expression and alter cellular processes.
What do you think would happen to the level of a hormone in the blood if negative feedback didn't happen?
If negative feedback did not occur, the hormone level in the blood would likely continue to increase. Negative feedback mechanisms control hormones by signaling the body to stop producing them once they reach a certain level. Without this regulation, hormone levels could become dangerously high or low, leading to health issues.
What would happen if all receptor proteins were removed from the membranes of a liver cell?
Nothing would happen at all.

What would happen if the hormone levels did not have their peak just before 14 days?
The ovary would not release the egg, i.e. ovulation would not happen. the egg would not be released into the fallopian tube

A receptor that contains many mechanically gated ion channels would function best as?
tactile receptor
How would you change the pA2 for a drug-receptor pair?
The only way to change the pA2 would be to alter the nature of the receptor, because the pA2 is essentially a measurement of the affinity of the antagonist drug for the receptor. So, in order to change this value, one would need to change the receptor in a way that changes the binding affinity of the drug.
