How are ligands cell-specific?
Each cell has a different response to the ligand.
Each cell has different receptors to bind to the ligand
Each cell has different relay molecules based on the ligand.
Each cell has different processes for endocytosis.
- 9. Multiple Choice
Describe the phosphorylation cascade.
Protein phosphatase adds a phosphate to a relay molecule which causes a change in shape to activate.
Protein kinase adds a phosphate to a relay molecule which causes a change in shape to activate.
ATP adds a phosphate to a relay molecule which causes a change in shape to activate.
Mitochondria adds a phosphate to a relay molecule which causes a change in shape to activate.
