Which receives signals a fluid mosaic model or a receptor?
a receptor
Which receptor Cells most directly enable us to distinguish different wavelengths of light?
Cones in the retina are the receptor cells that enable us to distinguish different wavelengths of light. There are three types of cones that are sensitive to different wavelengths, allowing us to perceive colors.
What molecule binds to the receptor to start the reaction inside the cell?
Cells have proteins called receptors that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a response.Different receptors are specific for different molecules. That means that they will respond only to that signal. Your eyes respond to light but your ears do not.There are hundreds of receptor types found in cells, and varying cell types have different populations of receptors.
All human cells can bind or have a receptor for each hormone. True or False?
False. Not all human cells can bind or have a receptor for each hormone. Different cells express different types of receptors, allowing specific cells to respond to specific hormones.
Do all message molecules use the same receptor?
No, different types of message molecules use specific receptors on cell membranes. Each receptor is specialized to bind to a particular type of message molecule, allowing for specific signaling pathways to be activated within the cell.
