9. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
(also, intracellular receptor) receptor protein that is located in the cytosol of a cell and binds to ligands that pass through the plasma membrane
10. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
(also, second messenger) small molecule that transmits signals within a cell
11. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
communication within cells
12. Key terms check
Which key term matches this definition?
