5. Hi there!
My name is Wyatt. I’m a white blood cell, and I’ll be
your guide today! We’re going to look at cellular
communication! I won’t spend a lot of time
bothering you, but if you need me, I’ll be in the
bottom right hand corner! Have fun looking around!
Great! If you’re ever stuck, click on me!

Receptor Molecule
Like ligands, receptor molecules are very
highly specialized in shape. They have an
active site in which the ligand fits and
sets off the reaction.

Q: One cell said to the other cell, "I don't know how to multiply!”
A: The other says, "It's easy, silly, just divide!"
Ligands are highly specialized molecules found all throughout your body ;
normally, ligands merely float around until they are needed for a particular
reaction. They fit into the active site of the receptor molecule, which is also
highly specialized for a particular ligand. Ligands trigger their particular
receptor, which then in turn triggers the relay molecules. Eventually,
receptor molecules change shape and spit the ligand out of their active site.
Ligands then either stay floating outside the cell, or go to trigger another
receptor cell if the reaction is ongoing.
