A molecule is applied to a cell and the intracellular Ca2+ concentration is found to transiently rise. You are curious to unders

tand the mechanism of this molecule so you remove all of the Ca2+ from outside the cell but find that the same effect is observed. You conclude that the molecule is probably having this effect because it sets into motion a chain of events that includes…
A.activation of adenylyl cyclase.
B.increasing the intracellular concentration of cAMP.
C.activation of phospholipase C.
D.blocking the Na+/K+ pump.
E.activation of a phosphodiesterase.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Phospholipase C comes in the category of membrane-associated enzymes, which plays an essential role in the cell physiology of eukaryotes, mainly in the process of signal transduction. One of the general features of the phospholipase C pathway is that it enhances the concentration of calcium within the cell's cytoplasm.  

With the stimulation of phospholipase C within a cell, calcium generally gets discharged from the intracellular compartments, which eventually results in the upsurge of calcium levels within the cell's cytoplasm.

Eukaryotic cells are 10-100 times the size of prokaryotic cells. how do eukaryotic cells resolve the surface area to volume limi
Katarina [22]

The surface area of a cell is approximated by the surface area of a sphere, given by the expression, 4πr². The volume of the spherical cell is given by the expression, 4πr³/3. The ratio between surface area and volume turn out to be, 1:r/3, or 3:r. This indicates that the SA/volume ratio is inversely related to the radius of the cell. Greater the radius, lower the ratio. Higher ratios are present in the prokaryotic cells This enables them to exchange food and water from their environment by the simple process of osmosis and diffusion. Eukaryotes have a larger cell radius and size. Thus, eukaryotes find it harder to exchange food and water by simple diffusion, rather they have specialised organelle present in the cell that actively transport food and water into the cell. These specialised organelles help the cell avoid the problem due to small SA/volume ratio.
