Answer:
A. Neurotransmitters can act as ligands.
B. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It can bind to an acetylcholine receptor on the surface of a cell. If this receptor is also a sodium channel, we would call acteylcholine a ligand and its receptor a ligand gated receptor.

Explanation:
Neurotransmitter are chemicals that transfer signals between neurons and nerve cells. They control some physical and physiologocal activity such as appetite, food.
Acetycoline is an example of neurotransmitter and it is located in the parasympathetic nervous system. Ligand are substance that form complexes with biomolecule. They serve biological purpose with this biomolecule.
This ligand binds to target site. Neurotransmitter act as ligand by binding to receptor in the postsynaptic neuron and acetycoline a type of neurotransmitter can also serve as ligand they bind to acetycoline receptor on cell surface.
Answer: reproductive, endocrine, and nervous systems
- Hormones provide feedback to the brain to affect neural processing. Reproductive hormones affect the development of the nervous system. The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland and other endocrine glands.
The question is incomplete, however, the statements associated with this question is given in the comments and here as well:
Neither facilitated diffusion nor osmosis requires cell energy.
Diffusion of gases and other small molecules requires no energy on the part of the cell.
Active transport requires cell energy and osmosis doesn't.
Both endocytosis and active transport require cell energy.
Answer:
The correct answer is - Active transport requires cell energy and osmosis doesn't.
Explanation:
Osmosis is an example of passive transport as it does not require energy to facilitate the movement of solvent In the process of osmosis,. It moves from high concentration to low concentration through the semipermeable membrane which is along the gradient so no requirement of energy.
In the case of Active transport, it requires energy to facilitate the movement of transport as it is the movement of a substance from low concentration to a high concentration area that is against the concentration gradient.
