What is the difference between a ligand and a receptor protein?
A ligand is a molecule that binds to a receptor protein, while a receptor protein is a protein that recognizes and binds to specific ligands, triggering a biological response. Simply put, a ligand is like a key that fits into a receptor protein like a lock, initiating a signaling cascade in the cell.
What binds to a signal molecule enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule?
A receptor protein on the cell membrane binds to the signal molecule, initiating a series of intracellular events that lead to a cellular response. The binding of the signal molecule to the receptor triggers a signaling cascade that ultimately activates specific cellular pathways.
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 signal molecule binds to a receptor protein the receptor protein may change the?
shape, leading to activation of signaling cascades within the cell. This activation can lead to changes in cell behavior or gene expression.
A protein on the cell membrane binds and recognized to specific substance is called a?
It is called a receptor protein.
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 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.
When a receptor protein in a cell membrane acts as a enzyme the receptor protein does what?

Define receptor of body?
A receptor is located on a cell membrane. Any neuronic transmission, hormone, etc. that cannot get inside of the cell's membrane will sit on the receptor in order to pass its message along to the cell. When the molecule sits on the receptor, it causes a series of reactions to occur inside of the cell. From the series of reactions that occur inside of the cell, the message is passed along, and the cell will perform as indicated by the molecule on the cell receptor.
A protein on the cell membrane binds and recognized to specific substance is called a?
It is called a receptor protein.
Why G protein linked receptor is called as G protein linked receptor?

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?
When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein on the cell membrane, it triggers a cascade of signaling events inside the cell through intracellular signaling molecules like second messengers. These second messengers relay the signal from the receptor at the cell membrane to the cell's interior, which initiates a response by activating various cellular processes. This signal transduction pathway enables the inside of the cell to detect and respond to the binding of the signal molecule at the membrane.
The process of transduction usually begins?
Transduction usually begins when a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, such as light or pressure. The receptor then translates this stimulus into an electrical signal that can be interpreted by the nervous system.
