Which describes a target cell? releases hormones into the blood produces a particular hormone recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure destroys hormones in the blood

recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure

Explanation:

In living systems, chemical messengers called hormones are secreted into the body via the bloodstream or ducts by certain glands called endocrine glands e.g pancreas, hypothalamus etc. These hormones are meant to effect a physiological change in certain cells called TARGET CELLS.

In biology, a target cell is any receiving cell that has the ability to respond to signals and messengers like hormones. This responding ability of hormones is due to the possession of specific receptor sites for the specific hormones. The receptor on a particular target cell recognizes that specific hormone's chemical structure, hence, will only respond to it.

For example, an insulin hormone secreted by the pancreas will only be responded to by a target cell that recognizes the chemical structure of the insulin protein using its receptor molecule.

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.

hope this , have a good day. c;
