1 The cilia of the sensory neurons are immersed in a layer of mucus. 2  Odorant molecules (molecules that we can smell) dissolve in the mucus and. 3  bind to receptors on the cilia.4  These are 7-pass transmembrane proteins. 5  Binding of the odorant activates a G protein coupled to the receptor on its cytoplasmic side. bind to receptors on the cilia. 2  These are 7-pass transmembrane proteins. 3  Binding of the odorant activates a G protein coupled to the receptor on its cytoplasmic side. 4  This activates adenylyl cyclase, an enzyme embedded in the plasma membrane of the cilia.
Organic molecules are hydrocarbon molecules. There are four major types of organic molecules: Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates and Nucleic Acids. Organic molecules are mostly made of chains of carbon atoms with hydrogenâs attached. On the right, we see the basic structure of an organic or hydrocarbon molecule (C-H-C-H). A carbon atom has four electrons in its outer orbit and these four valence electrons are shared with other atoms.
