Cell signalling Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

what did multicellularity lead to? - need for a highly coordinated system to regulate and integrate the physiological functioning of different cells within one organism mode of hormonal communication? - chemical signalling examples of types on triggers? - location, visual, language, sound, gesture visual trigger - circadian rhythms location trigger - sender to receiver language trigger - chemical signalling gesture trigger - social, stress, sex sound trigger - lactation what is the unit...

why do specimens need to be thin when observing them under a light microscope? - to allow light to pass through identify and explain the starch test - add iodine dissolved in potassium iodide solution to the sample - positive test = blue-black - negative test = orange-brown why is the structure of the plasma membrane often referred to as the fluid mosaic model? - - the continuous bilayer is 'fluid' as the phospholipid molecules are constantly moving - protein molecules are scattered thr...

What are the 5 well-known enzyme-linked cell surface receptors? - correct answer1. Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase: produces cGMP 2. RTK: phosphorylate tyrosine residues leading to association of signalling molecules and cascade 3. TK Associated Receptors: associate with proteins having TK activity 4. Receptor Tyrosine Phosphates: Removes phosphate on tyrosine residues 5. Receptor Serine/Threonine Kinases: phosphorylate specific Serine/Threonine residues on IC signalling molecules How are RTK...

OCR A-Level Biology Questions And Verified Answers With Complete Answers| Graded A| What is the MAIN role of membranes and what are the other roles? Correct Answer -COMPARTMENTALISATION -site of chemical reactions -cell signalling -cell adhesion How do cell membranes compartmentalise? Correct Answer Membranes are hydrophobic layers that separate different regions of substances dissolved in water. This hydrophobic layer acts as a barrier preventing the movement of hydrophilic molecules f...

CPPS EXAM PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2023/2024 (Graded). What isSH1 domain characterized by? - Correct Answer-Catalytic domain of a protein, for example the receptor. and it has the kinase activity. It is responsible for phosphorylating tyrosine residues. What is SH2 domain characterized by? - Correct Answer-Binds peptides with consensus (positional information on C-terminal side of the phosphorylated tyrosine). Very specific. Mediates protein-protein interactions in cellular ...

Essential Membrane Functions correct answer: act as barrier regulate import and export of molecules compartmentalization of processes increases efficiency membrane properties correct answer: composed of lipid bilayer impermeable to polar molecules asymmetric membrane fluidity correct answer: lipids and proteins rotate or move within bilayer; allows cell movement, growth, division, secretion, cell junction formation, and self-heal if punctured comformational changes mediate fluid...

Generic Cell Signalling Pathway - Signal --> Receptor --> transduction cascade --> target --> response Endocrine Signaling - Target Cell far from secretory cell paracine signaling - Target adjacent to secretory cell ligand - A molecule that binds specifically to another molecule, usually a receptor. =Signal
