When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein the receptor protein may change the?
shape.
What binds to a signal molecule enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule?
receptor proteins bind to signal molecules
When a receptor protein in a cell membrane acts as a enzyme the receptor protein does what?
When a receptor protein acts as an enzyme, the receptor protein activates a second messenger that acts as a signal molecule within the cell. Resources: HOLT Biology Textbook - 9th grade edition Chapter 4, Cells and Their Environment.
Epinephrine acts as a signal molecule that attaches to proteins?
G-protein-linked receptor
Which is a correct association of protein types?
Receptor proteins- have a binding site for a specific molecule
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.
When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein the receptor protein may change the?
shape.
What binds to a signal molecule enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule?
receptor proteins bind to signal molecules
When a receptor protein in a cell membrane acts as a enzyme the receptor protein does what?
When a receptor protein acts as an enzyme, the receptor protein activates a second messenger that acts as a signal molecule within the cell. Resources: HOLT Biology Textbook - 9th grade edition Chapter 4, Cells and Their Environment.
When a hormone molecule binds to a specific protein on the plasma membrane the protein it binds to is called?
... a receptor protein.
What is a channel linked receptor?
A channel linked receptor transduces functions of the same protein molecule. An example of a channel linked receptor are neurotransmitters in the brain.
Epinephrine acts as a signal molecule that attaches to proteins?
G-protein-linked receptor
Which is a correct association of protein types?
Receptor proteins- have a binding site for a specific molecule
Why is it important that each receptor protein binds to only one signal molecule?
because every receptor has specific shape on it, which binds with specific molecule.
The process of transduction usually begins?
When the signal molecule changes the receptor protein in some way.
What molecule is activated from the binding of an odorant to transmembranous receptor molecules on olfactory hairs?
G-Protein
When a signal molecule such as a growth hormone binds to a receptor protein in the plasma membrane it stays on the outside of the cell. How might the inside of the cell know that the signal has bound?
Due to a conformational change of the receptor protein....
