Answer:

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.

Nesterboy [21]

No, 100 people in an established country like the United States is no big deal, and they are not very likely to have a huge impact on the environment, culture, or beliefs. However, in a developing country like Nigeria, those 100 people could gravely impact the culture, environment, and beliefs. The Country is not established they do not have set values and 100 people is a good amount of people in a lowly populated area.
