Discuss how protein kinases function to produce signal amplification in a cell

Biology
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
4 0
A signal reaches a cell mostly in the form of a signalling molecule binding to a receptor on the cell surface. This binding activates a chain of events that amplifies the signal and transfers it inside the cell. Protein kinases phosphorylate proteins and cause their activation or deactivation, or in general modify their activity. When a signalling molecule binds to a receptor, a cascade is activated and the second messengers, such as cAMP, are synthesized. cAMP molecules activate the protein kinases, which phosphorylate specific proteins and activate them.

Gnoma [55]
Pulmonary  surfactant is a mixture of lipids and proteins which is secreted into the alveolar space by epithelial type II cells. The main function of the surfactant is to lower the surface tension at the ir/liquid interface within the alveoli of the lung. In babies born prematurely, pulmonary surfactant may not be present in adequate amounts due to insufficient exocytosis in type II alveolar cells.

Sodium and oxygen colvalent bond
snow_lady [41]

Answer AND Explanation:

When sodium atoms bond with one oxygen atom they form a covalent bond. However, there has to be two sodium atoms each with an extra electron that are donated to oxygen. Each of these sodium atoms gives oxygen one electron, allowing the oxygen atom to have a full shell with eight electrons. The sodium atom loses one orbital level since the electrons are donated.

4Na + O2 → 2Na2O
