Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The response of the control group to crowding is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Enzymes being the catalysts increase the
(b)
Interpretation:
The result if the insects are treated first with PKA inhibitor and then with PKG inhibitor is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex.
(c)
Interpretation:
The purpose of the experiment with PKG inhibitor is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex.
(d)
Interpretation:
The suggestion mentioned by the results about the role of PKA in the transition from a solitary to gregarious lifestyle is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex.
(e)
Interpretation:
The suggestion mentioned by the results about the role of PKA in the insects that are always gregarious is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Enzymes, being the catalysts, increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex.

- Frog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na* channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?arrow_forward1J. Please help me in detail. for molecular Mechanism of ATP versus GTP selectivity of adenylate kinasearrow_forwardTrue or False. The binding affinity between a peptide agonist and its specific G protein coupled receptor alone determines the sensitivity of a cell to the agonist peptide.arrow_forward
- Signal transduction pathway. Sketch a G protein in the active and inactive stages, and label its parts.arrow_forwardPlease help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forward1G.

- how signal summation works. Can the signals just be added? Does there need to be a break in the signals?arrow_forwardSIGNALS AND TARGETS. Listed below are sample polypeptides/proteins with their signal molecule/peptide. Answer the questions that follow. If you are asked to give the amino acid sequence, provide the sequence using the three-letter names of the amino acids (eg. ser-ala-met). Catalase with H2N-...KERINGKERIANGEKSAMSKL-COOH What is the name of the specific receptor of this polypeptide? The receptor may also have what alternative function?arrow_forwardSIGNALS AND TARGETS.
