What to Focus On
- Receptors may be on the cell surface, in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus.
- Ligand binding is highly specific.
- Ligand-receptor binding causes conformational change in the receptor.
- Phototrophs use sunlight as energy source.
- Chemotrophs obtain energy by oxidising chemical compounds.
- Anabolic pathways build complex molecules and require energy.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.
- Glycolysis is also called the EMP pathway.
- Hexokinase starts glycolysis and is inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A receptor and a ligand are the same thing.
Cancer cells in autocrine signalling depend on external growth factors like normal cells.
Glycolysis takes place in mitochondria because it is part of energy release.
