Which receptor cells help distinguish different wavelengths of light?
Cones
Can a receptor be an antigen?
No, they are entirely two different things. What might stimulate a receptor could be an antigen.
The same receptor can have different effects depending on the properties of the?
neurotransmitter
How does olfaction occur?
Within the nasal cavity, odorant molecules interact with the cilia on odorant receptor cells. The binding of odorant molecules onto receptor proteins causes a net change in the membrane permeability of the receptor cells which then causes an action potential to be generated by the receptor cell. Unlike other senses, olfaction is not redirected by the Thalmus. It instead goes directly from the afferent receptor cells to the olfactory bulb. From the olfactory bulb, the action potential is sent directly to the cerebral cortex, specifically the limbic system (this is why there is a large emotional association with smell).
Which receives signals a fluid mosaic model or a receptor?
a receptor

What are important tissue receptor tumor markers?
estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, interleukin-2 receptor, and epidermal growth factor receptor.
What is the name of the area of receptor cells in the back of the eye?
This area is called the retina. It consists of different sets of receptor cells that are specialized in their function to aid in the perception of light and colour.
What are receptor proteins made up of?
maybe nerve endings,skincells,or neurotransmitters
What is the definition of oculocentric?
Direction associated with a particular retinal point. It is always perceived in the same direction if the light is received by the same retinal receptor. The capacity of a receptor to distinguish its excitation from that of its neighbours is referred to as local sign (or Lotze's local sign). This characteristic means that each retinal receptor has a unique oculocentric direction.Reference: Millodot: Dictionary of Optometry and Visual Science, 7th edition. © 2009 Butterworth-Heinemann
Which receives signals a fluid mosaic model or a receptor?
a receptor
A hormone must target cells that have a receptor for it?
Yes they do if they want to go through the membrane except steroids they can go directly through
Cells of different tissues and organs respond to the same hormone if they have the same kind of molecules?
receptor
