What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?

Biology

aliina [53]3 years ago

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.

Within an organism it is critical that signals between cells are very specific.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The ligand has only one receptor that it is able to bind to

Explanation:

The shape of the ligand and its corresponding receptor allow there to be specificity. For example, receptors for ligand A would be found on the target immune system cells and not on cardiac muscle cells or skin epithelial cells. Therfore, even though the cardiac muscle cells or the skin epithelial cells would be exposed to ligand A, they would not be able to bind to it and therefore could not react because of the specificity of the receptor of ligand A at that moment
