Questions and Answers

What happens when a messenger binds to a receptor directly?

  • Modifies the receptor
  • Causes the cellular response to the messenger (correct)
  • Inhibits the cellular response
  • Leads to production of a second messenger

    • How does messenger binding to a receptor resemble substrate binding to an enzyme?

  • Both involve conformational changes in proteins (correct)
  • Both involve inhibition by antagonists
  • Both cause production of a second messenger
  • Both lead to negative responses in tissues

    • What determines the response of a cell to a messenger?

  • The type of receptor
  • The type of messenger
  • The number of receptors occupied (correct)
  • The tissue in which the receptor is located

    • Why can very low concentrations of messengers give a massive response in cells?
