The specific molecules that bind to receptors are _____________

The specific molecules that bind to receptors are _____________ Correct Answer Ligands

Receptors present on the cellular membrane are responsible for receiving the signals that come from extracellular environment. These signals are received and the corresponding action is generated upon binding of specific molecules called ligands on the receptors. The ligands have complementary structure with the receptors.
