<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
b). Activation of an upstream guanine nucleotide exchange factor
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>When a ligand activates the G protein-coupled receptor, it induces a conformational change in the receptor that allows the receptor to function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that exchanges GDP for GTPthus turning the G protein-coupled receptor on.</u></em>
- The activated G-protein then dissociates into an alpha (G-alpha) and a beta-gamma complex.

The olfactory system is involved in the sense of smell. The receptors of smell are not routed through the thalamus. The signals id directly routed from the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex and thalamus is not contacted in between. This is the difference between the taste and smell receptors, although both of their receptors are stimulated from mucus/saliva in the mouth.
