What is responsible for initiating a signal transduction pathway?

Physics
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The attachment of a signal molecule to a plasma membrane receptor.

Explanation:

The attachment of a signal molecule to a plasma membrane receptor initiates a signal transduction pathway.

Once the target cell receives the signal molecule it converts the signal to a form that can bring about a specific cellular response. This often occurs in a series of steps called a signal transduction pathway. Signal molecules bind to receptor protein, in cell membranes, and generally cause a conformational change in the proteins. This change in conformation is transmitted to the cytoplasmic domain or part of the receptor molecule. The transformed molecule interacts with the information-relaying molecules in the cytoplasm. These molecules are small molecules present in the cytoplasm known as secondary messengers. Calcium ions and Cyclic AMP (cAMP) are examples. This further starts a series of chain reactions, which ultimately reaches the target gene and causes its expression or repression.

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.
atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

  • 1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

  • \boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

  • m = 0.3 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 15 m
  • PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is
TEA [102]

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to F=\frac{200}{1}=200N

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

If the mass of an object is 8 kg and its momentum is -80 kgm/s, what is its velocity?
Dimas [21]

An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

p = -80kg×m/s

m = 8kg

Plug in these values and solve for v:

-80 = 8v

v = -10m/s

Choice D
