Pollutant is a substance that degrades and / or pollutes something, especially water or the atmosphere. It can enter the environment naturally, such as volcanic eruptions or human activities, such as burning coal and gasoline. As pollutants, we can mention: carbon monoxide, sulfur, suspended particles, lead, nitrogen oxide, ethylene, propane, butane, carbon dioxide, among others.

Pollutants can be in the form of gas, liquid, solid or energy.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Receptors are highly specific and only have high affinity for those ligands for whom they are specific.

Explanation:

Receptors are proteins that receive a stimulus or bind a ligand and mediate effects via receptor effector system.

Receptors are macromolecules that are highly specific.

The affinity between the ligand and the receptors is determind by the disassociation constant Kd.

The receptors produce maximun effect when an appropriate specific stimulus is present.

Different recptors types are present for different ligands.

For example, muscrinic receptors are specific for acetycholine and adrenergic receptors are specific for adrenaline/nor adrenaline.

It is important to know the specificity so that the body remains in a state of balance.
