Answer:

The characteristic that is not a function of the receptors is to receive glucose molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The receptors are structures made up of proteins or glycoproteins whose function is to receive specific signals, which determine intracellular changes and promote an effect or action.

Most of the receptors are located on the surface of the cells, serve for cell recognition and are capable of receiving stimuli from neurotransmitters and hormones.

Glucose is a biomolecule that does not constitute a stimulus or possess a specific receptor and enters the cell with the use of a specific transporter.
