All of the Following Can Contribute to Receptor Specificity Except

Question

All of the following can contribute to receptor specificity except
A) the structure of the receptor cell.
B) characteristics of the receptor cell membrane.
C) accessory cells that function with the receptor.
D) accessory structures and tissues that shield the receptors from other stimuli.
E) the metabolism of the receptor cell.

Accepted Answer

The metabolism of the receptor cell is not directly involved in determining receptor specificity. Receptor specificity is primarily determined by the structure and characteristics of the receptor itself, as well as any accessory cells or structures that may interact with it.
