- Name the steps that occur when a signal binds to a receptor on a responding cell.arrow_forwardMaximal physiological response to an external stimuli typically occurs when ______ of the receptors are bound by its ligand. A. None of the answers are true. B. All of the answers are true. C. Only a fraction D. 100% E. Most F. at least 50% G. Ligand-bound receptors do not result in any detectable physiological responses.arrow_forwardThe propagation and reception of signals between nerve cells must happen quickly, in order for an organism to respond to stimuli appropriately. Because of that, the majority of neurotransmitters fall into which category? -Autocrine -Paracrine -Endocrine -Direct signalingarrow_forward
- Amplification of a chemical signal occurs when? a. phosphorylation of proteins by protein kinase receptors is balanced by the immediate removal of phosphate groups by phosphatases b. a receptor in the plasma membrane activates several “first messenger” molecules while a signal molecule is bound to it c. a cAMP molecule activates one protein kinase molecule before being converted to AMP d. a receptor activates a single first messenger and a single second messengerarrow_forwardWhat are the advantages of having an enzyme (like adenylyl cyclase) involved in the initial response to receptor activation by a first messenger?arrow_forwardOne advantage chemical signaling has over electrical signaling is thata. reaction to stimuli can happen very quickly.b. although it takes large amounts of chemicals, the chemical signals are efficient.c. chemical signals stick around longer than electrical signals and can be used for slow processes.d. chemical signals are used in response to external and internal stimuli.arrow_forward
