Module 5: BIOD 101/ BIOD101 (Latest 2025/ 2026 Update) Essential Biology I W/Lab | Questions & Answers| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified Solutions)- Portage Learning QUESTION What are the 3 types of cell surface receptors discussed in the module? Answer: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), and ligand-gated ion channels QUESTION What nucleotide does a G protein bind to? What is the broad role of all G proteins? Answer: A G protein functions by binding to the nucleotide guanosine triphosphate (GTP). While there are many different types of G proteins, they all share the broad role of hydrolyzing (breaking down) GTP to GDP (guanosine diphosphate) QUESTION What type of enzyme is an RTK, and what is the broad function of that enzyme? Answer: RTK is a kinase. A kinase is an enzyme that transfers phosphate groups to a protein or another target molecule from an ATP molecule. QUESTION Describe what happens when a ligand binds to the extracellular binding site of a ligand-gated ion channel. Answer: A conformational change occurs, which elicits the channel to open and allow the passage of ions such as calcium or chloride. QUESTION True or False: Male and female sex hormones are small, hydrophilic molecules that pass through the hydrophilic regions of the plasma membrane to reach their target receptors. Answer: False, Male and female sex hormones are small, hydrophobic molecules that pass through the hydrophobic regions of the plasma membrane to reach their target receptors. QUESTION If a ligand binds to a receptor and causes a response in the target cell, we refer to that ligand as an ________; If a ligand binds to a target cell receptor and blocks the appropriate ligand from binding, it is referred to as an ________. Answer: agonist, antagonist QUESTION What TWO processes occur after a ligand binds to its receptor?
