: the pertussis toxin was found to interfere with the ligand-binding site in g-protein coupled receptors. at which point in the

cell signaling pathway would this toxin interrupt normal cell signaling

The point at which the toxin would interrupt normal cell signalling in the pathway is the signal amplification. 
This is because of the G-protein uncoupling and inhibition of signal amplification by pertusis toxin. Pertusis toxin released by the bacteria Bordetella pertusis and prevents signal that is amplifying from the protein. The G-protein coordinates the interaction between membrane bound receptor proteins and the effector proteins involved in the intracellular signalling. The toxin promotes the uncoupling of this heterotrimetric protein and also inhibits the amplification thus preventing the interaction of the receptor proteins and the second messengers.

Which type of neuron has a tract that goes from the effector organ to the spinal cord?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Motor neurons conduct nerve impulses from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to an effector. A single motor neuron carries messages from the spinal cord to an effector. One or more interneurons in the spinal cord carry messages from a sensory neuron to a motor neuron.

Explain what happened when the isopropanol came in contact with the strawberry extract
castortr0y [4]

The isopropanol will extract the DNA from the strawberries.

Explanation:

Strawberries help in DNA extraction as it has enzymes and pulverizes easily which breaks the cell wall and has large number of DNA in it. The isopropanol helps in precipitating the DNA.

In an experiment of DNA isolation, a squashed and refrigerated strawberry was added in a isopropanol solution after filtering it. It can be seen DNAs are starting to isolate from the strawberry extract in the form of fluffy bubbles.
