Chapter 11: Cell Communication 1. What is a signal transduction pathway? 2. Complete the following chart Signaling Types Specific Example Paracrine (local) Endocrine (long-distance) 3. How does a hormone qualify as a long-distance signaling example?4. A signal transduction pathway has three stages. Use Figure 11.5 to label the missing parts of the preview figure below, and then explain each step.RECEPTION-TRANSDUCTION-RESPONSE-5. Explain the term ligand. (This term is not restricted to cell signaling. You will see it in other situations during the year.)6. Intracellular receptors are found in the __________ or ____________ of the cell, where they bond to chemical messengers that are ________________ or very small, like testosterone or nitric oxide. 7. This diagram uses testosterone, a hydrophobic hormone, to detail how intracellular receptors work. At each arrow, add an explanation of what is happening in the cell.8. The next example of a signal receptor is a G protein-linked receptor. In the first figure, label the components and then describe the role of the three components. (Use Figure 11.7)9. Label and then describe what happens in step 2.10. Label then describe what happens in step 3. (The yellow box at the bottom right is important!)11. Equally important to starting a signal is stopping a signal. Step 4 stops the signal. (Failure to do so can lead to serious problems, like cancer.) Label and then describe how the signal is halted.12. What activates a G protein?13. Provide all of the missing labels on the diagram of step 1 of a tyrosine kinase receptor pathway.14. Label step 2 and then describe what happens to receptors tyrosine kinases when signaling molecules have attached.15. Label and explain how the receptors are activated in step 3.16. Use step 4 to explain how the activated receptor can stimulate multiple cellular response pathways.17. Moving to ion channel receptors, the example in Figure 11.7 shows the flow of ions into the cell. Ion channel receptors can also stop the flow of ions. These comparatively simple membrane receptors are explained in three steps. In the first step, label the diagram and then explain the role of the labeled molecules.18. Label the diagram and then explain what has happened with the binding of the ligand to the receptor.19. The ligand attachment to the receptor is brief. Label and explain what happens as the ligand dissociates.20. In what body system are ligand-gated ion channels of particular importance?21. Explain the role of these two categories of enzymes in transduction. Protein kinase Protein phosphatases 22. What are two benefits of multi-step signal transduction pathways?23. Two common second messengers are cyclic AMP (cAMP) and calcium ions (Ca2+). Explain the role of the second messengers in Figure 11.10 & Figure 11.12 from the text.24. Figure 11.10 explains how to initiate a cellular response utilizing cAMP; how might that response be inhibited?25. Using your new knowledge of cell signaling obtained on p. 211, explain the mechanism of disease in cholera.26. Figure 11.13 shows a single molecule of epinephrine resulting in the formation of __________ molecules of glucose-1-phosphate via signal amplification!27. Figure 11.15 shows four different cellular results from a single signaling molecule. Briefly describe each response. Cell A Cell BCell CCell D28. How do scaffolding proteins enhance a cellular response? ................
