Chapter 11.3, Problem 3CC
What is the actual “signal” that is being transduced in any Signal transduction pathway, such as those shown in Figures 11.6 and 11.10? In what way is this Information being passed from the exterior to the interior of the cell?

As a cancer researcher, which segment of the signal transduction pathway would you target to prevent the spread of cancer and why?
What type of signal transduction is involved in signaling from hormones such as estrogen and testosterone? Explain the signal transduction pathway that occurs.
1. Is there a short term description for signal transduction, instead wrting multiple words to descripte the type of signal transduction? Can I just identify it as active signal transduction and inactive signal transduction. Based on my understanding, active singal transduction is for the fast react transdcution, while inactive signal transduction meanly refers the hormonal affacts on the system.
2. For Ion channels, specific enzymes are both involed activated and inactivated signal transduction?
Outline the general features of a signal transduction pathwaystarting with binding of a PAMP by a membrane-associated PRR.

- The microtubules of an axon are thought to be nucleated at the centrosome, then severed from their nucleation site and moved into the axon. It was noted in the text that cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for the retrograde movement of organelles in axons, yet this same motor is thought to mediate the anterograde movement of microtubules in these same cellular processes. How is it possible that the same minus end–directed motor can be involved in both anterograde and retrograde movements?arrow_forwardPathways involving G proteins provide an opportunityfor an increase in signal strength in the course of signaltransduction, a change referred to as amplification.How might this be beneficial in olfaction?arrow_forwardSignal transduction pathways benefit cells for all of the following reasons except : a. they enable different cells to respond appropriately to the same signal. b. they can amplify and diversify a signal. c. they help cells use up phosphate generated by ATP breakdown. d. they help cells respond to signal molecules that are too large or too polar to cross the plasma membranearrow_forward
