Answer 1

Good afternoon!! Your answer would be E - target cells. Liver cells are target cells that produce insulin. Through a series of processes, insulin binds to the target cells that allows the cell to pull glucose through its membrane. That process is completely through signal transduction. I hope I helped!! Have a great day.
