Answer:

a. Reception: This stage is when the signal molecule binds to the receptor

b. Signal Transduction: This stage occurs where the chemical signal results in a series of enzyme activations

c. Signal Response: This is the stage that occurs as a result of cellular response

The three types of receptors are as follows:

Cell surface receptors/Ion channel-linked receptors: These channels open in response to the binding of a ligand to form a channel, it has a hydrophilic (water-loving) channel through the middle of it which allow a channel for the ions to cross the membrane without having to touch the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer.

G-protein-linked receptors: A family of cell surface receptors that share a common structure and method of signaling and are very diverse and bind to many different types of ligands, with seven different protein segments that cross the membrane, and they transmit signals inside the cell through a type of protein called a G protein

When its ligand is not present, the receptor waits at the plasma membrane in an inactive state and the inactive receptor is already docked to its signaling target which is a G-protein  

Enzyme-linked receptors: These are cell-surface receptors with intracellular domains that are associated with an enzyme and the domain is usually an enzyme that can catalyze a reaction. Other enzyme-linked receptors have an intracellular domain that interacts with the actual enzyme

Answer:

a.There are three signaling pathway

1- Reception in which molecule binds to receptor

2- Signal transduction in which activation of intracellular pathway and enzyme occur.

3- Cellular response in which specific response of cell occur according to receptor and ligand.

b. Three types of receptors are

1- autocrine

2- paracrine

3- endocrine.

Explanation:

autocrine receptors are signaling pathway in which cell releases its molecule and bind to its own cell receptor example cancer cells while paracrine in which ligand binds to other nearby cell receptor and it is used during development  and in endocrine cell target distinct cell and travel through blood stream like hormones functioning.

Number the following steps in the correct order and tell which stage it occurs in:
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is given below:

Explanation:

1. A cleavage furrow or cell plate forms, separating the nuclei - Cytokinesis.  During cell division, after division of nucleus, cytoplasm divides by furrow in an animal cells and by cell plate formation in the plant cells.

2. Chromosomes line up at the equator and chromatids are attached to spindle fibres—Metaphase. During metaphase all the chromosomes get arranged on the equatorial plane or the central plane

3. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear- Telophase. The nuclear membrane starts to form around each of the daughter chromosomes and nucleolus also reappears in the daughter nuclei.

4. Genetic material replicates and is joined at the centromere- S-phase of the interphase. Duplication or copying of the DNA occurs in this phase  

5. Centromeres divide and single-stranded chromosomes move to the poles- Anaphase.  During anaphase, the sister chromatids of each chromosome gets separated and move to the opposite poles.

What are the effects of the event on each of the earths four spheres
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

An event can cause changes to occur in one or more of the spheres, and/or an event can be the effect of changes in one or more of Earth's four spheres. This two-way cause and effect relationship between an event and a sphere is called an interaction. Interactions also occur among the spheres.

A disease called phenylketonuria causes mental problems, reduces skin pigmentation, and also affects the coloration of urine. Wh
swat32

Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism

  • <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>

<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>
