Document Summary

Exocytosis and endocytosis: exocytosis carries secretory proteins and waste out of cell, endocytosis carries proteins, large molecules or even cells into cell. 5. 6a exocytosis releases molecules to the outside by means of secretory vesicles: secretory vesicle joins with plasma membrane to release contents outside, all eukaryotic cells do this. The chemical basis of cellular respiration: cellular respiration: collection of metabolic reactions within cell that break down food molecules like carbs, fats and proteins, and uses the free energy to make atp. 6. 1b coupled oxidation-reduction reactions are central to energy metabolism: leo says ger, molecules lose electrons, oxidation, molecules gain electrons, reduction, these redox reactions are coupled, meaning one can"t happen w/o the other. 6. 2b the mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration in eukaryotes: krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in mitochondria (more specifically in the matrix), largest atp made, etc and atp synthase occur in inner mitochondrial membrane.

b.

Cytoplasmic proteins bind the phosphorylated RTK

d.

The RTK binds to DNA to regulate transcription

2 points

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.

QUESTION 9

If an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce GTP, what might happen to its signaling system?

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
