The best answer is D.

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted mostly into blood and also extracellular fluid by specialized tissue of the endocrine system and affect the functioning of other tissues or cells.

Most hormones circulate in blood and come in contact with essentially all cells, but a particular hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, which are termed as target cells to that hormone.

A target cell responds to a particular hormone because it bears receptors for that hormone.

For example the red blood cells have receptors for the hormone called insulin which is produced by the pancreas. The red cells are able to take in glucose when their receptors bind to insulin.

How do opinions compare to observations?

kifflom [539]

An opinion is a view or judgement formed about something that doesn't have to be based on fact or knowledge. It is a completely subjective statement (based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions). It reflects the speaker's personal views and thoughts.

An observation is the process or action of observing something or someone carefull in order to gain information. It is generally an objective comment (not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts); the person making it does not wish to express a personal opinion on the subject but merely makes an observation regarding it.
