Answer:
The answer is b. Both of them are characterized by selective permeability.
Explanation:
- Option a. states that both, the nuclear and the cell membrane have two layers. This is only true for the nuclear membrane that consists of two lipid bilayers whereas the plasma membrane only contains one layer.
- c. Only the nuclear membrane has nuclear pores that connect the two bilayers. The pores act as protein channels or passages that allow transport of materials. The cell membrane does contain channel proteins or transmembrane proteins but not protein channels.
- d. The nuclear membrane separates nuclear contents from the cytoplasm whereas the cell membrane separates cellular contents from the extracellular environment.
Answer:
The correct answer would be calcium ion and cAMP.
Secondary messengers refers to the intracellular signaling molecules which pass the signals from the receptors located on the surface of the cell to the target molecule present within the cell.
The secondary messengers can be classified into three major class:
- Cyclic nucleotide for example cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)
- DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP₃ (inositol triphosphate)
- Calcium ions (Ca⁺⁺)
Hence, from the given options, calcium ion and cAMP would make the correct choice.
