Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells that have receptor sites for a given hormone are collectively called the target tissue for the hormone. This is because they are the specific cells or tissues that the hormone is intended to act upon. The other choices are not accurate; A) cells with receptor sites for a given hormone are affected only by that hormone, not all hormones, B) hormones do not react with DNA directly, and C) tropic cells are cells that secrete hormones that have an effect on other endocrine cells.
