High school / pre-med / IB-style questions on membrane receptor types (GPCRs, ion channels, RTKs, intracellular receptors) with a focus on GPCR logic: why cells need membrane receptors, why cascades and amplification exist, second messengers (cAMP, IP3/DAG, Ca2+), and how signals are turned off (desensitization, GTP hydrolysis, PDE).
