A. The signal molecules that bind to GPCRs all have a similar structure. B. Signaling cascades associated with GPCRs always oper

ate at the same speed, regardless of the initiating signal. C. The cyclic AMP pathway can activate gene transcription, whereas the inositol phospholipid pathway cannot. D. Some G proteins inhibit the production of cyclic AMP. All second messenger molecules diffuse rapidly through the cytosol, thereby amplifying and spreading the signal.

Answer:

The true option is D: some G proteins inhibit the production of cyclic AMP.

Explanation:

A. False. GPCRs have evolved to recognize a diversity of extracellular physical and chemical signals, such as nucleotides, peptides, amines, Ca²⁺, and photons.

B. False. the cAMP is a second messenger present in different signaling cascades and provokes very different responses depending on the type of cell which it acts on, the substance that induces this cell and the receptor activated. Glucogen degradation and the stop of its synthesis in stressful situations are two examples of immediate responses mediated by the catalytic subunits of protein kinase A. Inhibition of glucogenesis and gastrin secretion by islets of Langerhans are two examples of late responses mediated by PKA.

C. False. The inositol phospholipid pathway (PIP₂), by hydrolysis, produces 2 second messengers: DAG and IP₃. These molecules activate different cascades. IP₃, for example, unites to receptors in the SER, which are ligand-regulated Ca²⁺ channels. This union allows the flow of Ca²⁺ to the cytosol. It forms an active complex with the protein calmodulin, and this complex binds to different proteins, including CaM kinases. These CaM kinases regulate gene expression phosphorylating transcription factors, like CREB.

D. True. Some hormones inhibit adenylate cyclase and diminish the levels of cAMP and suppress protein phosphorylation. For example, the union of somatostatin to its receptor activates an inhibitory G protein (Gi), which inhibits adenylate cyclase and lowers the concentration of cAMP.

E. False. The activity of the second messenger Ca²⁺, as well as the cAMP, can be restricted in space; after the response provoked by its liberation, Ca²⁺ is eliminated before it can diffuse to distant parts of the cell.

Allisa [31]
Yes, the taiga ecosystem is home to evergreens. The taiga system is a slightly warmer ecosystem then Tundra. You kind find a lot of taiga in Canada and Parts of Europe.

torisob [31]

In which sections or section of the kidney is the urine formed? 

The final product of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion which is the urine is primarily formed in the renal medulla although the formation of the urine starts with the filtration of blood in the glomerulus then along the proximal tubules, descending and ascending loop of Henle, distal tubules, and collecting ducts. 


What section of the kidney collects the urine? 

The renal pelvis is the main section of the kidney that collects the urine. The renal pelvis arises from the confluence of the collecting ducts forming the renal papilla then the minor calyx and the major calyx and ultimately to the renal pelvis to be transported to the urinary bladder through the ureters.


How does the urine move from the kidney out of the body? 

The urine will be collected in the renal pelvis. With the urine collected in the renal pelvis, the urine moves from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder through the ureters and will be stored in the urinary bladder. When there is an urge to urinate, the urinary bladder contracts and the urethral sphincter relaxes that allows passage of the urine from the bladder out of the body through the urethra.


In which main regions of the kidney are the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule located? 

The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are part of the renal cortex. These organs are responsible for the filtration of the blood from the afferent arteriole. The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are not synonymous but rather the glomerulus comes from the afferent arteriole and the Bowman’s capsule functions as a filtration membrane. Together, they are called the renal corpuscle.


In which main regions of the kidney are the collecting ducts and the loop of Henle located?

The collecting ducts are located in the renal medulla whereas the loop of Henle are partly in the medulla, depending on the type of nephron. In superficial cortical nephrons, the dips only up to the outer medulla while in the juxtamedullary nephrons, the glomerulus is near the corticomedullary border wherein more parts of the loop of Henle is in the medulla.
