(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The correct sequence of given molecules: cell response, receptor, second messenger, and a ligand for a signal transduction pathway.

Introduction: A cell can respond to a particular chemical signal only if a cell has an appropriate receptor protein. The receptor protein combines with the signal protein. The binding of a receptor and signal molecule initiates a response.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The correct sequence of given molecules: amplifier enzyme, cell response, phosphorylated protein, protein kinase, and second messenger for a signal transduction pathway.

Introduction: The signal transduction pathway is the basic pattern followed by the signal molecule to create a response. The pathway includes the extracellular and intracellular events.

Which of the following statements is false?   Question 11 options:   a)  Nucleotides and amino acids can act as extracellular signal molecules.   b)  Some signal molecules can bind directly to intracellular proteins that bind DNA and regulate gene transcription.   c)  Some signal molecules are transmembrane proteins.   d)  Dissolved gases such as nitric oxide (NO) can act as signal molecules, but because they cannot interact with proteins they must act by affecting membrane lipids.

Chemotaxis is a process by which cells migrate toward higher concentrations of a signaling molecule. The signaling molecule binds cell-surface receptors that result in actin polymerization at the cell membrane. Actin polymerization results in the formulation of filamentous actin that exerts a force and leads to protrusion of the leading edge. A researcher tested Compound A on chemotaxing cells and measured the relative amount of filamentous actin found in the cells at different times. Use the EGF Pathway passage to answer the questions. Part A Which of these structures, if present in a prokaryote, would prevent the organism from using this type of actin polymerization to chemotax toward a signal? A. cell wall B. flagellum C. mitochondrion D. ribosome Part B In the model proposed, which of these events MOST likely occurs to facilitate chemotaxis? A. Integrins anchor the cell to extracellular components. B. Motor proteins move actin toward the leading edge. C. Mitochondria migrate…
