Question

what are the differences between receptors and effectors? (3 marks)

Answer 1

Effectors :   An effector is any part of the body that produces the response.                                                                                                   here are some examples of effectors:

• a muscle contracting to move the arm

• a muscle squeezing saliva from the salivary gland

• a gland releasing a hormone into the blood.

Receptors:

• Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They can detect changes in the environment, which are called stimuli, and turn them into electrical impulses.

• Receptors are often located in the sense organs, such as the ear, eye and skin.
• When a receptor is stimulated, it sends a signal along the nerve cells (called neurones) to the central nervous system.

Answer 2

hey mate here is your answer⤵⤵

receptors and effectors. Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They can detect changes in the environment, which are called stimuli, and turn them into electrical impulses. When a receptor is stimulated, it sends a signal along the nerve cells (called neurones) to the central nervous system.

In biochemistry, an effector molecule is usually a small molecule that selectively binds to a protein and regulates its biological activity. In this manner, effectormolecules act as ligands that can increase or decrease enzyme activity, gene expression, or cell signaling.

Hope this will help you✌
