always inactivates a protein
always activates a protein
can either activate or inactivate a protein
- 16. Multiple ChoiceWhat determines whether a signal molecule binds on the surface or enters the cell?sizepolarityability to cross the membraneall of these are correct
- 17. Multiple ChoiceWhen you get cut, your skin cells release hormones that signal platelets to come and stop the bleeding.
