Question
Answer
What is a signal transduction pathway?   Signal on cell’s surface that’s converted to a specific cellular response  
🗑
How does yeast mating serve as an example of a signal transduction pathway?    
🗑
How does a hormone qualify as a long-distance signaling example?   Hormones can travel to any part of the body via the circulatory system.  
🗑
How do immune cells and neurons exhibit local signaling?    
🗑
reception   Detection of signaling molecule  
🗑
transduction   Signal converted to form that can bring about a specific cellular response.  
🗑
response   transduced signal triggers specific response  
🗑
ligand   Molecule that specifically binds to another, usually bigger molecule.  
🗑
G protein-coupled receptor    
🗑
G Protein    
🗑
GDP    
🗑
What is the difference between a first messenger and a second messenger?   First messenger is the ligand, second messenger is any small, non-protein components of a signal transduction pathway.  
🗑
What is the role of cAMP?   cAMP activates protein kinase A, which causes a cellular response.  
🗑
What happens to the cytoplasmic concentration of calcium when it is used as a second messenger?   it increase  
🗑
When cell signaling causes a response in the cytoplasm, what normally happens?   Regulation of activity of proteins.  
🗑
What specifically happens to a cell during the process of apoptosis?   DNA chopped up, cell shrinks, lobes up, vesicles form, digestion by scavenger cells.  
🗑
How do scaffolding proteins enhance a cellular response?   Enhancement of speed and accuracy because the rate of response is no longer limited by rate of diffusion.  
🗑
What are two benefits of multistep pathways?   Amplification of signal, and better regulation.  
🗑
What is the role of protein kinase?   Transfer phosphate groups from ATP to proteins.  
🗑
What is the role of protein phosphatases?   Remove phosphate groups from proteins.  
🗑
When cell signaling causes a response in the nucleus, what normally happens?   Proteins become transcription factors, certain genes are chosen, these are then transcribed.  
🗑
When cell signaling causes a response in the cytoplasm, what normally happens?   Regulation of activity of proteins.  
🗑
How do scaffolding proteins enhance a cellular response?   Enhancement of speed and accuracy because the rate of response is no longer limited by rate of diffusion.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
