Biology

Answer:

The binding of chemical messengers to receptors often results in a shape change, which affects receptor function.

Explanation:

Binding of specific chemical messengers to the corresponding receptors of target cells brings about change in the shape of the receptors. This structural change in the receptor results in the generation of the desired response. It reflects how the form and specific configuration of substances or biomolecules affect their functions.

For example, binding of neurotransmitters to the receptors present on neurons opens the associated ligand-gated ion channels to allow the movement of specific ions through it. In the absence of bound ligand, these channels are present in a closed conformation.

Explain three ways in which red blood cells are adapted to their function​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Red blood cells are adapted to their function by:

1) They contain haemoglobin - a red protein that combines with oxygen. they have no nucleus so they can contain more haemoglobin.

2) They are small and flexible so that they can fit through narrow blood vessels.

3) They have a biconcave shape (flattened disc shape) to maximise their surface area for oxygen absorption.

Hope this helps! :D

Which two animals use echolocation? bats and humans bats and dolphins dolphins and humans dolphins and butterflies.
Mandarinka [93]

The two animals which use echolocation are bats and dolphins.

Both hunt their prey by articulating high-pitched sounds and listening for the echoes.

<h3>What is echolocation?</h3>

Echolocation is a method used by bats, dolphins and other animals to select the location of objects using reflected sound. This allows the animals to move around in pitch darkness, so they can guide, hunt, identify friends and enemies, and avoid obstacles.

Thus, bats and dolphins are two animals that use echolocation.
