Answer:

target cell

Explanation:

Cell communication includes one or more signaling cells and the target cell. Signaling cells produce signals. In the case of chemical signaling, the signaling cells produce chemical signals such as hormones or neurotransmitters or ligands. Target cells are the cells that respond to a specific signal produced by the signaling cell.

To receive and respond towards the signal, the target cells produce receptors where the signaling molecules bind to produce the desired effects in the target cells. For instance, liver and muscle cells are one of the primary target cells for the pancreatic hormone insulin.

Answer: Option B

Target cell is the cell that is capable of receiving signals through receptors.

Explanation:

Target cells are also known as codocytes are red blood cells that appear as shooting target. They are capable of receiving signals from receptor because they have a receptor that can bind to ligands. The ligand bind to the receptor and cause a signaling or information to be pass inside the cell leading to responses.

Which statement below describes a feature that is shared between kinesin and dynein? a. Both proteins "walk" towards the (+) end
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C)Both proteins bind ATP and F-actin

*C option is not mentioned* there is a flaw in the question

Explanation:

Two families of motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, transport membrane-bounded vesicles, proteins, and organelles along microtubules. Nearly all kinesins move cargo toward the (+) end of microtubules (anterograde transport), whereas dyneins transport cargo toward the (−) end (retrograde transport).While

both the protiens have globular ATP-binding heads that function as the motor domain and interact with the microtubules.
