Where in cells are insulin receptors located?
plasma membrane
What happens if the receptors of the plasma membrane are damaged?
When the receptors of the plasma membrane in a cell are damaged the cell with typically die. In humans this is no cause for alarm as new cells are created daily while old cells die off.
What does the body cells and blood plasma exchange?
molecules
Many hormones induce changes in cells by first binding to plasma membrane?
Many hormones induce changes in cells by first binding to plasma membrane surface receptors.
What is hemo-concentration?
Hemoconcentration occurs when there is an increase in the concentration of blood cells as the result of the loss of plasma from the bloodstream. A decrease in volume of plasma and an increase in red blood circulating.
How does protein hormones reach their target cells?
Usually in blood plasma, which carries them to their target cells. They 'recognize' these cells based on receptors on the cell membranes to which they bind.
Is water found in the cell membrane?
The same way that air influences the shape of a balloon. When the cell is in the proper environment water enters the cell and it is the proper shape. When the solute concentration outside the cell is too high the water leaves the cell and it shrivels.
These are primary molecules making up plasma membranes in cells?
lipids
Which structure regulates passage of molecules into and out of cells?
The cell membrane is a membrane separating the inside of the cell from the outside environment. This structure is also known as the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane.
What component in the plasma of red blood cells carries oxygen molecules to the somatic Cells?
The heme group of hemoglobin.
If cells are placed in a solution with a high concentration of solute water will?
the molecules will pass from the salt solution to the cells.
What molecule binds to the receptor to start the reaction inside the cell?
Cells have proteins called receptors that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a response.Different receptors are specific for different molecules. That means that they will respond only to that signal. Your eyes respond to light but your ears do not.There are hundreds of receptor types found in cells, and varying cell types have different populations of receptors.
