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...

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...

Charles-Edouard Brown-Sequard - Answer Injected himself with ground-up animal testicles led to development of modern hormone therapy. Largely placebo Basic Principle of a Cell Signalling Pathway - Answer Stimuli -> Receptors -> Transducers -> Amplifiers -> Messengers -> Sensors and Effectors -> Cellular Responses (Fertilization, Proliferation, Differentiation, Secretion, Contraction, Metabolism, Membrane Excitability, Learning and Memory). Ligand Receptor Interaction - An...

CPPS 325 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2023/2024 Graded A+. What is the only example of conformational change activation? - Correct Answer-Insulin receptor kinase. All other RTKs are activated through forms of dimerization. What are the two forms of dimerization? - Correct Answer-i) Receptors exist as unactivated dimers until ligand binds (Twist theory) ii) exist as monomers that are brought together and activated by ligand binding. What is the most common method of dimerizatio...

1) What is desensitization? 2) What kind of cell receptors can this happen to? - Answer-1) When a cell decreases the amount of receptors on its surface to decrease the amount of response that the cell has to a ligand/stimulus 2) Can happen to any cell surface signalling receptor How is the endocytic pathway mediated? - Answer-Clathrin based endocytosis Describe the endocytic pathway in a stepwise fashion - Answer-1) Plasma membrane breaks off into free floating vesicles in the cytoplasm 2...
