Which of the following biological molecules exhibit the characteristics of saturation, specificity and competition?
A) carbohydrates
B) lipids
C) receptor proteins
D) nucleotides
E) lipids and proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saturation, specificity, and competition are all characteristics of receptor proteins, which bind to specific ligands in a saturated manner and can compete with each other for binding to the same ligand. Carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleotides do not exhibit these characteristics to the same degree as receptor proteins. The option of E is incorrect because while proteins can exhibit these characteristics, lipids do not have specificity and competition in the same way as receptor proteins.
