Signal Transduction

Question 1

Ligand?

Answer 1

Information carrying molecule, that can modulate the behaviour of particular cells.

Question 2

This specificity develops from the?

Answer 2

Affinity and Senitivity

Question 3

Receptors

Answer 3

Receptors are specialized proteins on cell surfaces or within cells that bind to specific molecules (like hormones, neurotransmitters, or antigens) to trigger a biological response.

Receptors are highly specific.
