inside the cell |||\\\ |||\\\




• The G protein stimulates adenylyl cyclase to produce large amounts of cyclic AMP from ATP
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




• Then cAMP binds to and activate a target protein such as a-kinase which adds phosphate to
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




specific protein within the cell |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




and is the mechanism by which the energy produce from cahydrates, fats, and proteins is
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




transferred to ATP. The process by which ATP is formed |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




: is the passive movement of a solute from an area of higher solute concentration to an area of
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




lower solute concentration. - correct answer✔✔diffusion |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. - correct answer✔✔Osmosis |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
