What else can I help you with?
What type of protein binds with a hormone to send a message to a cell?
a receptor
When a hormone molecule binds to a specific protein on the plasma membrane the protein it binds to is called?
... a receptor protein.
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 is a Specific structure that responds to a particular hormone?
The structure is called a hormone receptor. It is a protein located on the surface or within a cell that binds to a specific hormone, triggering a cellular response.
What receptor has a ligand that can cross the cell membrane that binds?
Intracellular
How is hormone specificity achieved?
each hormone receptor only binds to one hormone
What type of protein binds with a hormone to send a message to a cell?
a receptor
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 molecule such as a neurotransmitter or a hormone that binds to a receptor called?
A molecule such as a neurotransmitter or hormone that binds to a receptor is called a ligand. This binding triggers a biological response in the target cell, influencing its function.
A hormone must target cells that have a receptor for it?
Yes, in order for a hormone to exert its effects on a cell, the cell must have specific receptors that can recognize and bind to the hormone. Once the hormone binds to its receptor on the target cell, it triggers a series of cellular responses that lead to the hormone's desired effects.
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.
Why does hormone act only on specific cell types in a organism and not others?
Hormones can only be detected by cells that have the specific receptor which binds to the hormone. This means that the hormone only acts on the cells with its receptor and the other cells do not respond.
What keeps intracellular receptors from binding to DNA before a hormone binds to the receptor?
chaperone proteins (chaperonins)
What recognizes a hormone's chemical structure in the endocrine system?
Hormone receptors on cell membranes recognize a hormone's chemical structure in the endocrine system. When the hormone binds to the receptor, a cell changes its behavior.
What is a Specific structure that responds to a particular hormone?
The structure is called a hormone receptor. It is a protein located on the surface or within a cell that binds to a specific hormone, triggering a cellular response.
What is a molecule that acts as signal when it binds to a receptor?
Intracellular receptor
What are the cells that respond to the effects of a hormone called?
Target cells are the cells that have specific receptors for a hormone and are responsive to its effects. These cells can be located throughout the body and are capable of producing a physiological response once the hormone binds to its receptor.
