Target cells in an animal that lacks receptors for logical regulators could result in the inability of the cells to multiply in response to growth factors from cells that are nearby. Target cells are also referred to as codocytes.

What are two types of receptors that help transmit signals across the cell membrane?

Ionotropic and metabotropic. Ionotropic is when the substance binds to the receptor, it causes the protein to change shape, opening thr channel for specific ions. Metabotropic is the second messenger model, where the substance binds, then activates certain enzymes and causes something to happen. E.g. Insulin might bind to receptors on the liver, activating an enzyme, causing glucose to be converted to glycogen (glycogenesis).


How is the entrance of bacteriophages into their host cell different than the entrance of animal viruses into their host cell?

Bacteriophages enter a host cell by attaching to specific receptors on the surface of bacteria, including lipopolysaccharides, techoic acids, proteins, and flagella. For for a virus to infect a host cell, the cell must have receptors on its surface for the virus to attach to. The receptors are normal molecules involved in routine cellular function, but a portion of the surface of the virus resembles the chemical shape of the body's molecule that would normally bind to the receptor, allowing the binding of the virus to cell to happen.


What would happen if you didn't have Animal Cells?

If you didn't have animal cells, you would not be able to form tissues, organs, or body systems. Animal cells are essential building blocks for living organisms to carry out processes like respiration, reproduction, and movement. Without animal cells, complex multicellular organisms like humans would not be able to exist.


What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?

It can possibly burst.


Predict what might happen to an animal cell if you put it in distilled water?

The animal cell will swell and potentially burst due to water entering the cell through osmosis. The distilled water has a higher water concentration than inside the cell, causing water to move into the cell to try to equalize the concentration.
