Which of the following does not influence the responsiveness of a target cell to a hormonea) the number of receptors on the target cellb) the temperature of the tissuec) the presence and effects of other hormonesd) the concentration of the hormonee) previous exposure to a hormone

The temperature of the tissue.

Explanation:

Hormones are the chemical messenger of the body that regulates, maintains the proper functioning of the body. Two main types of hormones are exocrine hormones and endocrine hormones.

The hormone binds to its particular receptor and initiates the signaling cascade mechanism of the body. The binding of the hormone to its receptor is independent of the temperature conditions. The temperature do not have any effect on the response of target cell to the hormone.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
