Concept explainers

Cell Signaling

It allows cells to perform various cellular activities, coordinate, and interact with other cells. All cells of an organism receive signals from their environments and respond accordingly. Even the unicellular eukaryotes receive signals secreted by other cells and respond. In the case of yeast, mating takes place by signaling between the yeast cells. Communication by cell signaling in a multicellular organism has become a vast and important part of various fields of biology.

A hormone molecule binds to a receptor on a cell membrane. It doesnt enter the cell; rather, the binding activates a second messenger inside the cell that triggers an amplified response to the hormonal signal. Is the signaling molecule a steroid or a nonsteroid hormone?
A cell secretes a product that diffuses through the interstitial fluid and acts on nearby cells. This process is an example of (a) neuroendocrine secretion (b) autocrine signaling (c) paracrine signaling (d) classical endocrine regulation (e) peptide hormone function
Chemical signals Both autocrine and paracrine signaling molecules are carried by the blood to a distant target. Hormones (such as insulin & glucagon) are released directly into extracellular fluid and then enter the circulatory system, which carries them to a distant target. Neurohormones are paracrine signaling molecules that travel exclusively in interstitial fluid to reach their target.
Down-regulationa. produces a decrease in the number of receptors in the target cells.b. produces an increase in target cells’ sensitivity to a hormone.c. is found in target cells that respond to hormones that are maintainedat constant levels.d. occurs partly because of an increase in receptor synthesis by thetarget cell.e. All of these are correct.
Compare and contrast signaling events in the nervous vs. endocrine systems. How does a “message” get from the original neuron or endocrine gland to the target? How does the signal get transduced into something the target cell can respond to? Be sure to include a description of the signaling molecules and cellular receptors involved in each of these systems.
Which of the following is not an accuratestatement?(A) Hormones are chemical messengers that travelto target cells through the circulatory system.(B) Hormones often regulate homeostasisthrough antagonistic functions.(C) Hormones of the same chemical class usually have thesame function.(D) Hormones are often regulated through feedback loops
What is the principal difference of endocrine system from other signaling systems? Select one: A. Endocrine signals diffuse to neighboring target cells. B. Endocrine signals produce self-activation of the secreting cells. C. Endocrine system uses cell-cell contact to transduce signals. D. Endocrine signals are delivered by blood. E. Endocrine signals always generate faster responses in target cells.
The adaptive response to DNA damage is to increase levels of the polar signaling molecule, _____, which is a produced by cleaving the precursor _____.

The outcome is increased synthesis of protective pigments. a) β-endorphin; pheomelanin; α-MSH; b) α-MSH; POMC; MC1R c) POMC; α-MSH; melanosome d) MC1R; folate; melanosome
How does a compound that inhibits the GTPase activity of G-alpha affect liver cell responses to epinephrine? It would increase proliferation. It would decrease glucose production. It would decrease proliferation. It would increase glucose production.
How does the binding of a hormone to a receptor activate a G-protein? a. It replaces bound GDP with GTP. b. It’s magic. c. It replaces bound GTP for GDP. d. A and B. e. None of the above.
When a signaling molecule binds with a receptor, (a) G proteins are inactivated (b) a third messenger is activated (c) cell signaling is terminated (d) cAMP is produced by the receptor (e) the receptor becomes activated
A small molecule binds to a G protein, preventing itsactivation. What direct effect will this have on signalingthat involves cAMP?a. The hormone will not be able to bind to thehormone receptor.b. Adenylyl cyclase will not be activated.c. Excessive quantities of cAMP will be produced.d. The phosphorylation cascade will be initiated.
