Energy and Cell Communication

Cells utilize various receptors to facilitate communication and energy transfer, crucial for their functions. Intracellular receptors, located within the cytoplasm, interact with nonpolar signal molecules like steroid hormones, which diffuse directly through the plasma membrane.

KEY:

Energy and Cell Communication

Present in a target cell that receives the signal molecule

Intracellular Receptors
Steroid Hormones

The Steroid hormone aldosterone passes through the plasma membrane

Aldosterone binds to a receptor protein in the cytoplasm activating it

Hydrophobic is a nonpolar signal molecule

Diffuse directly across the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane to encounter its receptor in the cytoplasm

Nucleus
Cytoplasm

Receptors is inside the cell

Membrane Receptors
Plasma Membrane

signal molecules are received at surface by membrane receptors

Second Messenger
Hydrophilic is a polar, charged and/or large signal molecule

Diffuse through the plasma membrane. It's receptor is embedded in the membrane

First Messenger

3 Types of Membrane Receptors

Ion Channel Receptor

Allows direct conversion of a chemical neurotransmitter message to an electrical current.

G-Protein Link Receptor

Convert extracellular signals into intracellular responses

Tyrosine Kinase Receptor

Promotes the growth and survival of cells in animal cells
