receptor-mediated endocytosis
no that would be facilitated diffusion. nice try though.
called receptor tyrosine-kinases
Proteins (in short supply) interact with specific receptors on the cells outer membrane, triggering a cascade of events, which leads to the expression of specific genes and the production of the protein.
steroid hormonesSteroidalHormones are steroids and go across the membrane through specific receptors - this is why a hormone will act on certain tissue only e.g. estrogen only on mammary glands, uterus etc.
two processes requiring the use of protein carrier molecules?

cell membrane receptors
Viruses have specific proteins on them which only binds to certain receptors, which are present in certain cell's plasma membrane.
binds to specific receptors on postsynaptic cell membrane
Proteins (in short supply) interact with specific receptors on the cells outer membrane, triggering a cascade of events, which leads to the expression of specific genes and the production of the protein.
dendritic cells
There are many different sensory receptors, but olfactory receptors in the nose, and cones and rods in the eyes are two specific types of sensory receptors. Olfactory detects the chemical presence and your brain identifies it as a smell. The rods and cones of the eye process light and color to form images that your brain processes as vision.

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)
