Homeostasis: A state of balance reached through reactions within a cell or organism.
Metabolism: The total of all chemical reactions within an organism.
Organism: Any living thing that takes in food, grows, and reproduces.
When working with non-linear functions, the average rate of change is not constant.
When working with non-linear functions, the average rate of change is not constant.
Explanation:
When working with linear functions, average rate of change is constant.
The point at which the toxin would interrupt normal cell signalling in the pathway is the signal amplification.
This is because of the G-protein uncoupling and inhibition of signal amplification by pertusis toxin. Pertusis toxin released by the bacteria Bordetella pertusis and prevents signal that is amplifying from the protein. The G-protein coordinates the interaction between membrane bound receptor proteins and the effector proteins involved in the intracellular signalling. The toxin promotes the uncoupling of this heterotrimetric protein and also inhibits the amplification thus preventing the interaction of the receptor proteins and the second messengers.
