Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

When a drug binds to a receptor in the body , the receptor is activated or inactivated. 
Molecules such as hormones, drugs or neurotransmitters that bind to a receptor are called ligands. The binding can be specific and reversible. A ligand may activate or inactivate the receptor; activation may increase or decrease a particular cell function. Each ligand may interact with multiple receptor subtypes.

Example of commensalism in finding nemo
mestny [16]
A type of commensalism is the sea anemone and the clown fish. The definition of commensalism is where another species lives within another. (Usually this relationship is with animals, fungi, and plants.) No harm comes to either species. 

A clown fish lives in a sea anemone, and this doesn't hurt the anemone nor is the clownfish affected by its sting because of their oils that protect them.

If you didn't know, Nemo and his father, Marlin, lives in a sea anemone. A natural habitat of a clown fish.
