Answer:

target cell

Explanation:

Cell communication includes one or more signaling cells and the target cell. Signaling cells produce signals. In the case of chemical signaling, the signaling cells produce chemical signals such as hormones or neurotransmitters or ligands. Target cells are the cells that respond to a specific signal produced by the signaling cell.

To receive and respond towards the signal, the target cells produce receptors where the signaling molecules bind to produce the desired effects in the target cells. For instance, liver and muscle cells are one of the primary target cells for the pancreatic hormone insulin.

Answer: Option B

Target cell is the cell that is capable of receiving signals through receptors.

Explanation:

Target cells are also known as codocytes are red blood cells that appear as shooting target. They are capable of receiving signals from receptor because they have a receptor that can bind to ligands. The ligand bind to the receptor and cause a signaling or information to be pass inside the cell leading to responses.

Explain how wood produces chemical energy
andrezito [222]

Wood, when dry, stores chemical energy. This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is converted into heat, or thermal energy. This also produces light energy. As a result of burning, the wood turns into an entirely new substance - ashes. Wood, a form of fuel with lots of potential energy stored in its covalent bonds, will react with molecules of oxygen in the air in a dramatic chemical reaction we call fire. The complex molecules in the wood have 'high energy' covalent bonds, as do the molecules of oxygen.
