What receptor has a ligand that can cross the cell membrane that binds?
Intracellular
What is the molecule called that can bind to a receptor protein?
The molecule that can bind to a receptor protein is called a ligand.
How is the binding of a ligand to cell receptors may alter cell functions?
Some cell receptor is held with it some proteins that transform the signal when a particular ligand is bind. When a ligand binds to a receptor it results in conformation changes in the receptor. The receptor interact with the other protein attached to it and mediate signal transduction by producing some secondary messengers that's how the signal is amplified and create a respond.... (eg., G -Protein coupled receptor)
The most important factor determining which type of receptor a signal molecule will bind to is?
the lipid solubility of the ligand.
What change does ACh cause in an ACh receptor?
ACh binds to each ACH receptor which causes opening of ligand-regulated ion gate and the creation of end-plate potential.
What receptor has a ligand that can cross the cell membrane that binds?
Intracellular
What is the molecule called that can bind to a receptor protein?
The molecule that can bind to a receptor protein is called a ligand.
Where are receptors located?
in the cell membrane depends on the receptor. A lot are in the cell membrane but some may be cytoplasmic or even nuclear depending on the solubility of the ligand and how it enters the cell.
How do hormones establish selectivity?
Hormones are ligands that bond to cells and carry a specific receptor. The ligand bonds its receptor to form a complex that acquires a purpose. The ligand triggers a change in the receptor, which activates a potential biological function. Cells that do not exhibit the receptor never receive the signal.

A ligand produces a response in a cell if it finds the right kind of?
receptor
Is a ligand a hormone?
yes a ligand is anything that can change the conformation of a receptor protein. hormones bind to proteins in the same way ligands do
What is receptor internalisation?
Receptor internalization is the process by which cell surface expressed receptors are monoubiquitinated following ligand-induced activation, and subsequently taken up into the endocytic vesicles to the lysosome. The receptor will either be degraded or brought back to cell membrane were it is again able to interact with its ligands. Receptor internalization serves as a mechanism to downregulate receptor signaling upon agonistic ligand stimulation.
Which factor would most likely interfere with the binding of a ligand to an intracellular receptor?
peni
Is CD4 an adhesion molecule?
The glycoprotein CD4 is a co-receptor. A co-receptor is "a cell surface receptor, which, when bound to its respective ligand, modulates antigen receptor binding or affects cellular activation after antigen-receptor interactions." (MediLexicon)
What are holes in the surface of the dendrites or certain cells of the muscles and glands that are shaped to fit only certain neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitter receptor sites on ligand-gated ion pores.
The most important factor determining which type of receptor a signal molecule will bind to is?
the lipid solubility of the ligand.
