5. All of the following statements are true, EXCEPT:
Ligands can bind with any receptor protein.
Ligands are molecules that can pass through the plasma membrane.
During transduction, the signal is converted to a form that the target cell can
understand.
Signaling molecules are shaped so that they fit into only certain receptor
proteins.

i think its y= -4x-14

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!

it's diluted or concentrated

in a diluted solution, you can add a lot more solute but in concentrated only a little more can be added
