[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is the receptors on the outside of the target cell. Hormones rely on specific receptors on the target cells to bind and carry out their functions. If the receptors are not functioning properly or are not present, the hormone will not be able to have its intended effect on the target cell.
