Which of the following will NOT affect the magnitude of a cell's response to a specific hydrophilic ligand?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnitude of a cell's response to a specific hydrophilic ligand is influenced by factors related to the interaction between the ligand and its receptor, such as the number of receptors (A), the affinity of the receptor for the ligand (B), receptor upregulation (C), and the concentration of the ligand (D). However, the lipid solubility of the ligand (E) does not directly affect this interaction because hydrophilic ligands typically interact with cell surface receptors rather than diffusing through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
