To determine: What do the three main types of cell-surface receptors have in common.
Introduction: Cells communicate with each other by a process known as cell signaling. It is important for an organism to receive and respond to the stimulus. During interaction, it forms receptors-ligand complex.
To explain: How do the three main types of cell-surface receptors differ.
Introduction: Cells communicate with each other by a process known as cell signaling. It is important for an organism to receive and respond to the stimulus. During interaction, it forms receptors-ligand complex. Receptors are large protein or glycoproteins that bind with the signaling molecule (ligand). The cells undergo receptor-ligand alterations and initiate the physiological response.

- What are the Regulations of Receptors?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference in structure between G-protein linked receptors and enzyme-linked receptors?arrow_forwardAn extracellular signaling molecule binds to cell surface receptor. This cell surface receptor changes shape and activates a trimeric G-protein. What kind of receptor is this? a) Ion-channel coupled receptor b) Receptor Tyrosine Kinase c) G-Protein coupled receptor d) All of the other answers are correct e) Enzyme-coupled receptorarrow_forward
- What are the features of Receptor?arrow_forwardHow can the same signal (ligand) , result in different cellular responses in different cell types with the same receptors?arrow_forwardIn intercellular signaling pathways, some receptor proteins can also act as a transcription factor (changing gene expression), because these receptors are ________. A) Group of answer choices B) Intracellular receptors C) Membrane bound receptors D) G protein coupled receptors E) Enzyme linked receptors F) Fast ligand-gated ion channelsarrow_forward
- 12. Which statement regarding cell-surface receptors is correct? A) lon-channel-coupled receptors alter the membrane potential directly by changing the permeability of the plasma membrane. B) G-protein-coupled receptors are polypeptides with seven transmembrane domains. C) After binding their ligand, G-protein-coupled receptors interact with intracellular GTP-binding proteins, later initiating signal transduction events. D) All of the above E) None of the above Answer: Explanation:arrow_forwardWhat is the three-dimensional structure of GPCRs? How does the structure of these receptors determine their functions?arrow_forwardThe p75 receptor differs from Trk receptors in that it a) can promote cell death. b) has high affinity for all neurotrophins. c) only binds a particular type of neurotrophin. d) can bind NGF to promote cell survival.arrow_forward
