Vitamin D is a relatively small, lipid-soluble molecule that can behave as a hormone. Its receptor, therefore, most likely is an ion channel receptor. is a protein kinase receptor. involves a G protein. is located inside the cell. does not exist, since the molecule can diffuse across the cell membrane.

Endocrine signals are transmitted more slowly than paracrine signals because.___ the ligands are transported through the bloodstream and travel greater distances the target and signaling cells are close together the ligands are degraded rapidly the ligands don't bind to carrier proteins during transport
What effect will a cAMP inhibitor have on a peptide hormone-mediated signaling pathway? It will prevent the hormone from binding its receptor It will prevent activation of a G-protein It will prevent activation of adenylate cyclase It will prevent activation of protein kinases.
The secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland is an example of.____ autocrine signaling paracrine signaling endocrine signaling direct signaling across gap junctions
Why are steroids able to diffuse across the plasma membrane? Their transport protein moves them through the membrane They are amphipathic, allowing them to interact with the entire phospholipid Cells express channels that let hormones flow down their concentration gradient into the cells They are non-polar molecules.
A scientist notices that when she adds a small, water-soluble molecule to a dish of cells, the cells turn off transcription of a gene. She hypothesizes that the ligand she added binds to a(n)____receptor. Intracellular Hormone Enzyme-linked Gated ion channel-linked
When growth hormone binds to an enzyme-linked receptor, (a) G proteins are amplified into a cascade of molecules (b) the enzyme portion of the receptor becomes dephosphorylated (c) the receptor becomes activated and phosphorylates signaling proteins in the cell (d) an ion channel is opened (e) an immediate signal is sent into the nucleus, and specific genes are activated or inhibited
A small molecule binds to a G protein, preventing its activation. What direct effect will this have on signaling that involves cAMP? The hormone will not be able to bind to the hormone receptor. Adenylyl cyclase will not be activated. Excessive quantities of cAMP will be produced. The phosphorylation cascade will be initiated.
All of the following are true of integrins except (a) they are receptor proteins (b) they help organize the cytoskeleton (c) they are part of the ECM (d) they are important in cell signaling (e) they are located in the plasma membrane
Where do DAG and IP3 originate? They are formed by phosphorylation of cAMP.' They are ligands expressed by signaling cells. They are hormones that diffuse through the plasma membrane to stimulate protein production. They are the cleavage products of the inositol phospholipid, PIP2.
