i think that a receptor protein is a response to some signals that are made possible by them things. it is used as a thing that is like a binding site on the outside of the cell wall.

Receptor proteins recognizes and bind to substances outside of the cell. It is used to cause changes on the inside of the cell. It is found in the cell membrane.

A receptor protein binds only to signals that match the specific shape of its binding site. It is used for binding specific substances, that signal molecules. Receptor cells only respond to some signals, rather than others.

A receptor protein is a protein that binds specific molecules, which causes the cell to respond. It is used to bind only to signals that match the specific shape of its binding site which is found in the cell membrane.

Receptor proteins help cells be able to sense its surroundings. They do this by binding to substances outside the cell. It causes changes inside the cell.

A receptor protein binds specific substances such as signal molecules.
The response is made possible by receptor protiens.

receptor proteins is a protein that binds specific signal molecules, which causes the cell to respond. It is used to respond to a specific outside of the cell. For example some cells may have receptor proteins that can detect and respond to light.

A receptor protein is a protein that binds specific signal molecules. It then causes the cell to respond. It also enables a cell to detect its environment. That is how that works.

a protein that binds specific signal molecules, which causes the cell to respond---it takes the most important ones.

Receptor proteings recognize and the shape of its binding site. Its used to bind specific substances.

A Receptor Protein isAn intracellular protein or protein fraction having a high specific affinity for binding agents known to stimulate cellular activity, such as a steroid hormone or cyclic AMP. A target cell is bombarded by hundreds of signals. But it recognizes & responds only to the few signals that are important for its function. This response to some signals, but not to others, is made possible by Receptor Proteins, such as sthe ones in the cell's membrane.

The receptor proteins binds specific signal molecules, which causes the cell to respond. It is used to cause alot of changes and it is found in side of the cell membrane. Ya i looked it up yo.

ya. two days in a row that i blogged...new record

A receptor protein binds to signals that are the same shape of its binding site. They are used to cause changes on the inside of the cell. They are also found in the cell membrane.
