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.

Will earth run out of water?
Kazeer [188]

<u>While our globe may never run out of water as a whole</u>, it's crucial to realize that pure freshwater isn't always available where and when humans require it. In fact, only six countries contain half of the world's freshwater. Over a billion people do not have access to adequate safe, clean water. Water scarcity will afflict the entire planet by 2040 unless water use is significantly decreased. "If we keep doing what we're doing now, there will be no water by 2040."
