Summary Introduction

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.
