Answer:

Hormones act only on cells not structures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hormones act only on cells and they do not act on other structures because there are specific cells have receptors for that particular hormone. Some hormones bind itself to the receptors on the surface of target cells whereas other hormones enter the cells and bind itself to the receptors present in the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell.
