A specific protein that recognizes certain molecules?
There are antibodies and cell-surface receptors and enzymes; is there a more specific A. in view?
Are antibodies and cell receptors similar?
Cell receptors and antibodies both have a specific shape requirement in order for them to work. I guess thats what makes them similar.
One similarity between cell receptors and antibodies is?
Are highly specific in their actions
One similarity between cell receptors and antibodies is that both?
highly specific
What transmits information into a cell by binding to signal molecules?
One of the most common molecules of the cell that transmit information from outside to inside are transmembrane receptors. Typically, a ligand will bind to to exterior portion and trigger receptor activation, leading to downstream signaling within the cell.
What often serve as receptors or cell recognition molecules on cell surfaces?
Glycoproteins
Neurotransmitters attach to what molecules in the cell membrane?
Neurotransmitters attach to proteins with sugars attached. The receptors then tell the molecules what to do and where to go in the cell.
The molecules that convert extracellular signals into intracellular ones are?
cell surface receptors
What is one similarity between cell receptors and antibodies?
Both agents are highly specific in their actions, and respond to a specific stimulus.
What is the difference between T cell receptors and MHC molecules?
T cell receptors bind to MHC class 1 molecules. MHC class 1 molecules bind to peptides (self or foreign) and present it to the cell's membrane. The job of a T cell is to decide what is presented on the MHC class 1 cell whether to leave it alone or to activate to destroy it because it is non-self.
What is an important function of the glycoproteins in the cell membrane?
Glycoproteins determine your blood type and bind sites for toxins or bacteria. They are chemical pathways allowing ions to pass through the membrane. Their functions are ion receptors, cell recognition, cell binding, and cell signalling.
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.
