Answer/Explanation:
EGFR stands for epidermal growth factor receptor. It is a transmembrane protein acting as a tyrosine kinase receptor for epidermal growth factor ligands, which are associated with promoting cell division and proliferation. When epidermal growth factor binds to the receptor, it becomes activated and undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation.
A mutation could occur making the receptor overactive. That is, it does not require ligand binding to become activated, meaning it is always in an "on" state. This would lead to uncontrolled proliferation, a hallmark of cancer.
Answer:
1. Potassium
2. increasing towards zero
3. hyperpolarization
4. voltage-regulated Potassium
Explanation:
Membrane potential can be defined as the difference in electric charges inside and outside of a cell. The resting membrane potential (RMP) occurs when there is no net current across the membrane and therefore the cell is in a non-excited state. At the RMP, sodium ions (Na+) are more concentrated inside the extracellular fluid (ECF) than inside the intracellular fluid (ICF), while potassium ions (K+) are more concentrated inside the ICF. The diffusion of K+ outside the cell triggers its hyperpolarization, by becoming the membrane potential more negative compared to the resting potential. As the potential nears +35 mV, the voltage-regulated potassium channels are open, thereby K+ ions leave the cell down its concentration gradient, while voltage-gated Na+ channels become saturated and inactivate.
"Large molecules such as hormones" types of materials are expelled from cells during exocytosis.
<u>Answer:</u> Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
The mechanism whereby a cell transfers secretory products to the plasma membrane via the cytoplasm is termed as "exocytosis" while material passage into the cell is known as "endocytosis". Exocytosis is need for removing waste material from cell.
In exocytosis, mechanism huge quantity of molecules which means bulk transport is performed.Responsible for secretion of digestive enzymes and hormones. In this process, membranes-bound secretory vesicle pass to the cell membranes while their material like water-soluble molecule get secreted in the extracellular atmosphere.
Enzymes reduce the activation energy allowing chemical reactions to occur in living things.
