Bio 172 FINAL EXAM UH Manoa Curtis Daehler Rated A+ animals vary in how they look male or female because hormones endocrine system uses chemical signals to elicit responses by cells that have receptors endocrine signaling hormones leave directly from blood vessels to cells to trigger a response paracrine signaling when cells signal other cells with hormones autocrine signaling when a cell releases hormones and signals itself water soluble hormone released into the blood system s...

What are the 5 well-known enzyme-linked cell surface receptors? - 1. 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 and TK Ass...

Cell Signaling and Apoptosis Types of Signaling • A ligand is a molecule that has specificity for a given receptor, and the binding of a ligand to the given receptor causes a change. • There is a wide array of cell ligands: hormones, peptides, sugars, and even small, hydrophobic molecules. • Regardless of its type, a ligand is always specific for the target receptor. This ligand-to-receptor specificity helps to regulate responses in the target cell while not impacting non-target cell...
