Cell Signalling
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Signalling through receptor kinases often: | Leads to the activation of a cascade of enzyme kinases |
Steroids (steroid hormones) are examples of hydrophobic cell signalling molecules that | Rely on intracellular receptors |
The cell-cell interactions are: | Essential for all multi-cellular organisms |
The receptors for steroid hormones and peptide hormones are fundamentally different because | peptides are hydrophilic and steroids are hydrophobic |
An example of an ion commonly used by cells for intracellular signalling is: | Ca2+ |
Intracellular signalling proteins that act as molecular switches are often controlled by phosphorylation reactions | True |
The fragment binds to receptor proteins on nearby cells and activates signaling pathways resulting in altered gene expression patterns in the cells. | Paracrine signaling |
Which of the following is NOT a common second messenger in cell signaling? | Tyrosine |
Signalling through G proteins is self-limiting because G proteins: | Hydrolize GTP to GDP inactivating themselves |
Which of the following receptors is not a membrane receptor: | Steroid hormone receptor |
What is the function of Ras during tyrosine kinase cell signalling? | It links the receptor protein to MAP kinase pathway |
Endocrine signals are | Released by cells into bloodstream |
