Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Membrane-bound receptors have their receptor sites on the outer surface of the plasma membrane, allowing them to interact with extracellular ligands or signaling molecules. They are typically large, hydrophilic molecules that cannot pass through the lipid bilayer of the membrane. They exhibit specificity, meaning they only interact with certain ligands that fit their receptor sites. They do not interact directly with DNA in the nucleus.
