Match the description with the type of receptor model.

A)Nuclear receptor model
B)Membrane-bound receptor model

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Membrane-bound receptor models involve receptors that are located on the cell membrane and can interact with extracellular signals. When these receptors bind to their ligands, they can cause membrane channels to open or close, altering the flow of ions and other molecules into or out of the cell. This mechanism is not characteristic of nuclear receptors, which are located within the cell and typically act as transcription factors to influence gene expression.
