A. cytoskeletal proteins
B. Extracellular matrix carbohydrates (polysaccharides)
C. extracellular side of membrane proteins
D. Extracellular matrix proteins2
2. Which types of molecules can act as signaling molecules? (Choose ALL correct answers)
A. neurotransmitters (small molecules)
B. proteins
C. lipids
3. In order for a cell to receive a signal (such as a hormone), what does it have to have? (Choose ALL correct answers)
A. a receptor for that signal
B. a similar type of signal that it makes
C. a membrane that is permeable to that signal
Answer 1
Option B, C and D are correct i.e " Extracellular matrix carbohydrates (polysaccharides), extracellular side of membrane proteins,Extracellular matrix proteins2 ".
Explanation
As its name suggests (Extra cellular) , these are the molecules that are present out side the cells membrane. Cytoskeletan proteins are present inside the cells.
Answer 2
Options A, B and C are correct i.e " neurotransmitters (small molecules), proteins and lipids".
Explanation
These are the signaling molecules that binds to the receptors present on the target cells and hence, helps in establishing communication between two cells.
Answer 3
Option A is correct i.e " A receptor for that signal".
Explanation
Hormone acts as a signaling molecule that binds to the target cells and helps in activation of signal transduction system within the target cells.
