Multiple ChoiceWhy does testosterone, a lipid-soluble / hydrophobic signaling molecule, not affect all cells in the body but only specific cells?a) Only target cells have the cell surface receptor able to bind with testosterone.b) Only target cells contain the genes regulated by testosterone.c) Only target cells possess the phosphorylation cascade uniquely activated by testosterone.d) Only target cells possess the intracellular receptor able to bind with testosterone.2310views8rank
Multiple ChoiceTestosterone and estrogen are lipid-soluble signal molecules that cross the plasma membrane by simple diffusion. If these molecules can enter all cells, why do only specific cells respond to their presence? 1640views
Multiple ChoiceSteroid hormones can enter a cell by simple diffusion. Therefore, steroids __________. 777views
Multiple ChoiceG-protein-coupled receptors __________, whereas receptor tyrosine kinases __________. 973views2rank
Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is activated when the binding of single molecules causes it to form a dimer? 532views
Multiple ChoiceDomoic acid is a neurotoxin produced by some species of alga. Domoic acid binds to the kainate receptor on neurons in parts of the brain. The kainate receptor facilitates the movement of calcium into the cell. Excess domoic acid–induced stimulation of the neural kainate receptors causes neural damage and short-term memory loss. Based on this, which of the following is likely true? 505views
Multiple ChoiceIf a modified form of GTP that cannot be enzymatically converted to GDP were added to a culture of cells, the likely result would be __________. 536views1rank
Multiple ChoiceRas, a small G protein located at the plasma membrane, is often mutated in different types of cancer. Ras normally signals to a cell that it should divide. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably. Which of the following changes to Ras could explain uncontrolled division in a cancer cell that has mutated Ras present? 1119views1rank
