Answer 2

Answer: Target cell

In cell signalling, the receptors on the surface of target cells are specific enough to differentiate between the molecules on the basis of slightest change in the chemical structure. The hormones act as ligands which bind to specific receptors on the target cell and causes change inside the cell, to start the cascade of reactions.
