How does an "activated" receptor transfer information into the cell?
A)by altering the ligand-binding site of the receptor
B)through a conformational change of the receptor
C)by decreased phosphorylation of the receptor
D)by increased translation of the receptor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a receptor is activated, it undergoes a conformational change that allows it to interact with intracellular signaling molecules, leading to the transduction of the signal into the cell. The other options listed are not mechanisms by which activation of a receptor leads to signal transduction.
