Biochemistry membrane structure and function f831a371

The ligand-receptor complex dissociates in the endosome because

Of its large size

The vesicle looses its clathrin cost

Of the acidic pH of the vesicle

Of the basic pH of the vesicle

High-Yield Explanation

Ligand-gated channels are opened by binding of effectors. The binding of a ligand to a receptor site on the channel results in the opening (or closing) of the channel (Fig. 2.11). The ligand may be an extracellular signaling molecule or an intracellular messenger.Ref: DM Vasudevan, page no: 15
