They are known as seven-transmembrane receptors because of the number of times (7 times) they travel through the cell membrane while interacting with G proteins.

Each GPCR is extremely specialized to a given signal, and humans alone have about 1,000 distinct GPCRs. GPCRs are made up of a single polypeptide that has been folded into a globular shape and encased in a cell's plasma membrane. The biggest family of receptors and membrane proteins in the human genome are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which have about 800 members, of which half are olfactory. Numerous endogenous signaling molecules can activate GPCRs, which are involved in various physiological processes.

As a result, we can state that the seven-transmembrane receptors are so named because they couple with G proteins and pass through the cell membrane seven times.

What would need to happen for copper not to not exsist anymore.
san4es73 [151]

Electricity could be discovered using batteries based on zinc or lead, but without copper wiring it would remain little more than a scientific curiosity. Electric motors and generators require large amount of wiring, so they are impossible to build on large scale in this world

alukav5142 [94]

 Answer: It enables them to cover more of the visible light spectrum and therefore be able to harvest more light energy.

<span>Pigments can be defined as the molecule that absorb specific wavelength of light or they are substances produced by living organisms that obtain color from selective color absorption.  Thus, the function of pigment in plant is photosynthesis and they use green pigment chlorophyll with other pigments such as yellow and red pigment which are being used to captures much light energy as possible. However, plant gain from having much more than one pigment because it enables them </span>to cover more of the visible light spectrum and therefore be able to harvest more light energy.
