Target Cells _______

Question

Target cells _______.
A) typically have receptors that bind signal molecules to their surfaces
B) usually replicate and die when contracted by a signal molecule
C) are the first cells in a cell signaling pathway
D) kill invading microorganisms

Accepted Answer

Target cells typically have receptors on their surfaces that can bind with the specific signal molecules to trigger a response in the cell. This is a crucial step in the process of cell signaling. Options B and D are incorrect as they do not pertain to the characteristics of target cells, and option C is incorrect because the first cells in a signaling pathway are typically the signaling cells themselves.
