The cellular response to the second messenger is a mutation that affects ca++ binding to calmodulin and is most likely to interfere with what aspect of a signal transduction pathway.

<h3>Ca++ binding to calmodulin :</h3>

This protein-protein interaction ultimately has a physiological consequence; for instance, in smooth muscle, Ca2+ binding to calmodulin causes it to connect with and activate myosin light chain kinase, which in turn catalyzes the phosphorylation of myosin. The smooth muscle contracts as a result of this reaction.

A common, tiny (148 amino acids) calcium signaling protein called calmodulin (CaM) controls the actions of numerous cellular proteins. It has two calcium-binding sites in the N-domain (I and II) and two more in the C-domain (III and IV).

In order for smooth muscle to contract, calmodulin is crucial for excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and the start of the cross-bridge cycling in smooth muscle. The head of the myosin light chain must be phosphorylated to initiate smooth muscle contraction.

Answer:

So they are lighter and move quicker.

Explanation:

With the small wings and bodies birds have it would be hard for them to escape predators and lift their own weights if their bones were dense like humans' bones. The hollow part of the birds' bone is connected to their lungs so they have enough oxygen to fly easily. Hope this can help you! :)
