Question

for all receptors, stimulation of a receptor results in a change in ______. gene expression the shape of the receptor the membrane potential the state of the receptor from active to inactive need help? review these concept resources. rate your confidence to submit your answer.

Explanation:

When a receptor is stimulated, its conformation (shape) changes first. This shape - change can then trigger downstream signaling events. Gene expression changes are long - term and not immediate. Membrane potential changes are related to ion channels. Receptors don't typically change from active to inactive upon stimulation but rather get activated.

Answer:

B. the shape of the receptor
