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.
