Explain what happens during the three phases of signal transduction.

Biology

Morgarella [4.7K]4 years ago
8 0
The three phases of signal transduction is (1) reception, (2) transduction, and (3) response. Reception involves the binding of a ligand, may it be a hormone or a neurotransmitter; to a receptor, may it be a membrane receptor, cytosolic receptor, or a nuclear receptor. After binding of the ligand to the receptor, there will be signal transduction of events that will ultimately form a response. For instance, insulin actin on the insulin receptor will trigger a series of events that will increase the transcription of the gene translating for glucose transporters and ultimately, increase the number of glucose transporters embedded in the cell membrane leading to increased glucose uptake in tissues.

Chemicals called ________ are stored in neurons and released when the cell is stimulated by a signal.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Neurotransmitters

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals present in the body used for the propagation of action potential. These neurotransmitters are also known as the body chemical messengers.

Neurotransmitters are stored in the neural cells. These chemicals are generally released when the cell is stimulated by the specific signal. The effect of neurotransmitter may be excitatory or inhibitory.

Thus, the answer is option (4).

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.

Paul [167]
<span>The answer to this question would be: e. increase the rate of the glycolytic reactions.

</span>Lack of oxygen limits the possible chemical reaction that can be done to produce energy. In the anaerobic environment, fermentation of glucose would be the source of energy for bacteria. The net amount of ATP can't be increased, so you need to increase the rate instead.
