Receptor-mediated endocytosis: only a specific molecule, called a ligand, can bind to the receptor. Without receptor binding occurring first, endocytosis does not proceed.

What is molecule carries energy in the cell?
i think it is cell membrane
Which is bigger molecule or cell?
A molecule is two or more atoms which have been chemically bonded and a cell is made up of atoms so technically a molecule could be bigger than a cell but in reality most cells are bigger than molecules seeing as they are made up of them
Which is bigger atom electron molecule or cell?
An electron is a part of a atom, and an atom is part of a molecule, molecules make up a cell. So a cell is biggest.
What does the cyanide molecule do?
Rupture cell wall
Which factor prevented the protein molecules from moving out of the cell?
molecule size
What is more specific than a cell but less specific than an element?
A molecule.
Which cell membrane molecule provides the highly specific markers that distinguish one cell from another?
A glycoprotein.
What is the job a a receptor molecule?
A receptor molecule is a molecule that receives information from outside the cell. They are embedded in either the plasma membrane or cytoplasm of a cell. A specific molecule on the surface or inside of a cell with a characteristic chemical and physical structure. Many neurotransmitters and hormones exert their effects by binding to receptors on cells.
State one way that the shape of the insulin receptor is related to its role in cell communication?
It's shape is specific for every specific molecule.
When a molecule of DNA is being used to direct a cell's activities?
Areas containsin specific active genes are extended
A chemical reaction in a living cell occurs in the presence of a specific protein molecule?
The specific protein molecule in a cell acts as a catalyst, facilitating the chemical reaction to occur more efficiently or at a faster rate. The protein molecule binds with the reactants, stabilizes the transition state, and lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. Without the presence of this protein molecule, the reaction may occur, but at a significantly slower rate.
What binds to a signal molecule enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule?
receptor proteins bind to signal molecules
Which series shows the level of organisms in order from the smallest to the largest structure?
atom, molecule, cell, organiism
What is a cell that produces a signal molecule?
A eukaryotic cell produces a single molecule.
What is the master molecule in a cell?
The DNA molecule.
Rank the following from lowest to highest cell organ molecule?
molecule - cell - organ
What is produced from a cell's surface and enables movement in a prokaryotic cell?
Flagnellum
