Document Summary

#3 - cell is like a mobile phone, it receives an extracellular signal molecule in (like a radio signal. In) and then converts it to an intracellular signal molecule out (like the cell phone converts the radio signal into a soundwave). Like the game of telephone, but since the proteins can"t talk, to send the message, they send along phosphates. Better analogy would be a relay race where the baton is passed along (find a picture of a relay race baton passing) 4 amplifications of camp or gamp or ip3, dag. Ligand binds to the extracellular molecule, which causes a conformational change to the intracellular molecule. #6 - acetylcholine can induce different signals in different muscles: cardiac muscle, salivary muscle, and skeletal muscle. #7 - for a cell to survive/be sustained, it needs many different signals. In order to grow and divide, to go through a cell cycle, it needs different signals. Convergent - different stimulus converges onto one response.

QUESTION 4

Which of these is a logical signal-transduction pathway?

	a.	An intracellular receptor activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane protein to form IP₃, which then activates the opening of an ER channel protein, which releases cyclic AMP into the cytoplasm, where it binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	b.	A G-protein-linked receptor activates G protein, which activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane lipid to form IP₃, which binds to a calcium channel on the ER, which opens to release calcium ions into the cytoplasm, which bind to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	c.	An ion-channel receptor opens, allowing a steroid hormone to enter the cell; the steroid hormone then activates protein kinases that convert GTP to GDP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	d.	A tyrosine-kinase receptor activates adenylyl cyclase, which activates phospholipase C, which converts ATP into cyclic AMP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.

		It would use ATP instead of GTP to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would not be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger.
		It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal.

2 points

QUESTION 10

A hormone signal is sent from the brain to other parts of the body via the bloodstream. Why do only certain cells respond to this signal?

		Hormones do not last long enough in the bloodstream to stimulate a cellular response
		Only cells that have a specific transcription factor gene will be able to respond to the signal
		Only cells in the immediate vicinity of the cell sending the signal will respond
		Only cells that have a receptor for the specific signal will be able to respond to it
