quiz 2 Flashcards
what do cells need to be able to respond to a signal
they need a receptor and a way to use the info and respond
what receptor are for signals that can pass through the plasma membrane and come inside the cell?
Intracellular
what receptor binds signals that can not pass through the plasma membrane, therefore binding outside of the cell?
Transmembrane
how do receptors respond to a signal?
the binding of the signal changes their confirmation
do receptors bind to any signals?
no they are very specific
