How do only certain cells respond to particular signaling molecules that may be sent throughout the body?

Biology

zhuklara [117]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The presence of specific receptors on the target cells allows them to respond to the signaling molecules.

Explanation:

Signaling molecules move throughout the body but exhibit their effect only on certain cells. This is due to the presence of signaling molecule specific receptors on the target cells. The target cells have cell surface or intracellular receptors to which the signaling molecules bind to generate their effect. The absence of these receptors in other cells does not allow the signaling molecules to exert any physiological response on them.

For example, liver and muscle cells mostly have insulin receptors and respond to the presence of insulin in blood by increased uptake of glucose from the blood.

I believe you mean mid-ocean ridge?

If so, true.

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics.

This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

A mid-ocean ridge demarcates the boundary between two tectonic plates, and consequently is termed a divergent plate boundary.

Which would be the best way to measure the amount of loose rabbits on a farm?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Estimated Guess so D because if there are more then 10 rabbits you do not want to count every single one. So you would look at how many five are and see how many groups look like about 5 and then guess from there. So an estimated guess would quickly and easily get you a decent amount close to counting them.

Hows that for an answer.
