Cells That Have Receptor Sites for a Given Hormone

Question

Cells that have receptor sites for a given hormone
A) are affected by all hormones
B) are collectively called the target tissue for the hormone
C) react with the hormone to change the configuration of DNA
D) are called tropic cells

Accepted Answer

Cells that have receptor sites for a given hormone are collectively called the target tissue for the hormone. This is because these cells are the specific cells that the hormone was meant to act upon. The other options are incorrect as cells with receptor sites for a hormone are not affected by all hormones, do not react with the hormone to change the configuration of DNA, and are not called tropic cells, which refers to cells that produce other hormones.
