All cells of a multicellular organism may not respond in the same wayto a particular ligand (signaling molecule) that binds to a cell surfacereceptor. The difference in response may be due toa. the type of receptor for the ligand that the cell expresses.b the affinity of the ligand for the receptor in a given cell type.c. the type of signal transduction pathways that the cell expresses.d. the type of target proteins that the cell expresses.e. all of the above.
Indicate:
Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas. This is due to its quick activation of specific signaling pathways in cells of our body. Since this is a gas, it most likely uses....
Select one:
a. A transmembrane cell surface receptor since it cannot pass through cell membranes
b. A voltage-gated ion channel receptor since it creates a charge when crossing the cell membrane
c. An intracellular receptor since it can easily diffuse across a membrane
