Solution

The false statement is: "Hormones act by interacting with a specific receptor located on the endocrine cells."

While it's true that hormones interact with specific receptors, these receptors are not located only on endocrine cells. They can be found on a variety of target cells throughout the body, not just on the cells of endocrine glands.
