What membrane protein is responsible for binding hormones that can switch on a cell?
The membrane protein responsible for binding hormones that can switch on a cell's response is typically a hormone receptor. These receptors are often found on the surface of the cell membrane and can activate signaling pathways inside the cell in response to hormone binding.
Growth factor hormones such as insulin bind to which type of receptor?
tyrosine kinase receptor!!
Do hormones enter cells through exocytosis or pinocytosis?
Hormones typically enter cells through specific receptor-mediated endocytosis, a form of pinocytosis. The hormone binds to a receptor on the cell surface, initiating a process in which the hormone-receptor complex is internalized into the cell through vesicle formation. Hormones are not typically released by cells through exocytosis; instead, they are released into the extracellular space to exert their effects on target cells.
Where are receptors located?
in the cell membrane depends on the receptor. A lot are in the cell membrane but some may be cytoplasmic or even nuclear depending on the solubility of the ligand and how it enters the cell.
Why hormones can contact virtually all the cells of your body yet only activate the appropiate target cells?
The receptor molecules have the " lock " that the " key " of the hormone fits into . Surface markers, generally glycoproteins, must match up for the hormone to dock at the cell and a signal transduction pathway is then initiated.

What are indentations on the surface of a plasma membrane that contain receptor proteins?
coated pits. :)
Growth factor hormones such as insulin bind to which type of receptor?
tyrosine kinase receptor!!
Where do receptor molecules end up after receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Its NOT 'on the inside surface of the cell membrane' Probably ' on the inside surface of the vesicle'
Indentations on the surface of a plasma membrane that contain receptor proteins?
Coated pits young bull
What are the structures that allow hormones to bind to their target cells?
Hormones bind to specific protein receptors on the surface or inside target cells. These receptors are typically found on the cell membrane or in the cytoplasm. Once the hormone binds to its receptor, it triggers a signaling cascade that leads to specific cellular responses.
What are the group of hormones that are believed to affect the membrane surface receptors of lymphocytes?
Celitiphirisis
Is the responsiveness of cells to hormones determined by the presence or absence of specific hormone receptor proteins?
Yes, the responsiveness of cells to hormones is determined by the presence of specific hormone receptor proteins on the cell surface or inside the cell. When a hormone binds to its corresponding receptor, it triggers a cellular response. Cells without the specific receptor for a hormone are not able to respond to that hormone.

What are 4 types of proteins found in cell membrane?
Integral membrane proteins: embedded within the lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins: bound to the membrane surface. Receptor proteins: involved in cell signaling and communication. Channel proteins: facilitate the passage of ions and molecules across the membrane.
