Vilka [71]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The target receptor is expressed in the membrane, the activity of the receptor can instigate the production of small molecules known as the secondary messengers that coordinate and initiate the intracellular signaling pathways. For example, cyclic AMP is a secondary signal molecule.  

When the signal molecules stimulate the receptor, the signal is carried into the cell generally by means of secondary messengers.

Explanation:

Receptor A because the ligand concentration is greater than the Kd., because the conformation of a receptor protein composes the functional state. Ligands include substrates, inhibitors, activators, and neurotransmitters. So, Affinity is a measure of the strength of attraction between a receptor and its ligand.
