Channel linked receptors bind to neurotransmitters. (also called ion channels and ligand gated ion channels) A ligand is the signal molecule i.e the neurotransmitter.
Hormones bind to intracellular receptors because hormones are non polar and can cross the cell's plasma membrane. (also called cytoplasmic receptors)

What condition is least likely to affect a plants ability to perform photosynthesis?
receptor proteins in the membrane.
Where do you think a glucagon hormone most likely binds to send it's signal to the cell?
In the plasma membrane of target cells (P - apex)
What substances would most likely require a protein to facilitate its diffusion across a cell membrane?
Quick answer: glucose Explanation: Any substance that the membrane selects against requires integral proteins to cross the membrane. B/c the lipid bilayer is selectively permeable, not all substances can pass through it by diffusion or osmosis. However, when the cell requires a substance that it's membrane does not easily allow to pass through, it must enter via the proteins in the membrane. They can either be carrier proteins or protein channels depending on the substance. One example of a substance which requires facilitated diffusion is glucose.
The effect of the rooting hormone on the production of new roots was most likely due to the influence of the hormone on what process?
excretion
What would a synovial membrane most likely be found in?
A synovial membrane is most likely to be found in the joint cavity.

Cell membranes are asymmetrical which is a most likely explanation?
Cell membrane proteins are determined as the membrane is being packaged in the ER and Golgi. or The two sides of a cell membrane face different environments and carry out different functions.
What is the name of the organelle that moves proteins and other substances through the cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum are transport tubes made of membrane that move proteins and other materials through the cell, most likely sending them towards the Golgi apparatus/body.

Why are there more ribosomes in a hormone-producing cell than a skin cell?
Hormones are usually made out of proteins and lipids. Ribosomes make proteins. Skin is also protein. But most likely, more hormones are made in a hormone-producing cell (called an endocrine cell) in a faster turnover than a skin cell. Thus, there would need to be more ribosomes in the endocrine cell.

excretion

Which hormone is most likely responsible for preparing the uterus for pregnancy?
The hormone progesterone in the corpus luteum will prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
What would a deficit of plasma proteins cause?
A deficit of plasma proteins would likely cause
Why are pores in a cell membrane different sizes?
The size of the membrane pores depend on the proteins constituting the pore, thus different proteins may cause different pore sizes. So in most cases, yes, the "pores" will most likely be of different sizes.
What is most likely to occur if the sugar molecules cross the membrane?
Sugar molecules move outside of the membrane.
