Answer:

C. They generally contain seven membrane-spanning α helices.

Explanation:

The G protein-coupled receptors are components of signal transduction through G protein. Here, a plasma membrane receptor with seven transmembrane helical segments serves as a G-protein coupled receptor. These receptors are the integral membrane proteins and have seven hydrophobic regions of 20 to 28 amino acid residues.

These hydrophobic alpha-helices span the membrane back and forth seven times. Binding of a signaling molecule to the G-protein coupled receptor promoters a conformational change in the receptor’s intracellular domain. The activated receptor then triggers the replacement of bound GDP to the G protein by GTP and thereby activating it.

How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to make gas exchange possible?

Oxygen-poor blood enters the heart through the right atrium. From there blood flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. When the heart contracts during the diastolic phase, this blood is pumped out through the pulmonary arteries that run toward the lungs. At the lungs, the blood is circulated through a series of progressively smaller arterioles until it flows through capillaries lining the lungs' alveolar sacs. It is here that gas exchange takes place as oxygen is taken up by the blood, and carbon dioxide is released into the waste air.After oxygenation, the fresh blood is circulated back through the bronchial veins and into the pulmonary veins. These run from the lungs and drain into the heart's left atrium. During the systolic phase of the heartbeat, the mitral valve under the left atrium opens and permits blood to pass into the left ventricle. This chamber is heavily muscled and it has the power to pump the oxygen-rich blood out through the aorta and into the rest of the body.
