Epinephrine is a hormone that regulates cellular energy metabolism to break down glycogen into glucose. The signal transduction

pathway involves the production of cAMP. If caffeine blocks the activity of cAMP, what would happen to the signal transduction pathway?
The signaling pathway will amplify and produce more glucose.
The signaling pathway will conform to bind to the receptor cells.
The downstream components will be altered and ultimately affect production of glucose.
The downstream components will function normally.

Answer: The downstream components will be altered and ultimately affect production of glucose.

Explanation: Epinephrine is a hormone that belongs to a class of biomolecules called catecholamines. When it reaches the target cell it binds to a receptor that is connected to an enzyme called adenylate cyclase that converts ATP into cAMP(cyclic adenosine monophosphate). cAMP plays an important role in the phosphorylation of proteins which alters their activity. In this case the activity of the enzyme that hydrolyses glycogen to glucose. When caffeine blocks the activity of cAMP it ultimately inhibits the action of the downstream components.

What kind of rays are produced when a metal, such as tungsten, is bombarded with
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: x-rays

Explanation: When the electrons from the filament strike the tungsten target, x-rays are created photons are created if they either hit a target nucleus directly (rare) or their path takes them close to the nucleus. If a high- speed electron hits the nucleus of a target atom, all its kinetic energy is transformed into a single x-ray photon.

Which of the following characteristics would make an organism less likely to face extinction?
olchik [2.2K]

The correct answer is fixed migration pattern.

Extinction means termination of last member of a particular species. This can be due to various factors. The reason could be natural or human interventions. The best characteristics of an organism to be less likely to face extinction are the fixed migration pattern. Migration of that particular species in a fixed pattern will make them adapt different environment. This saves the species from natural extinction. Even if the species of a particular geographical area dies the migrated species will be alive to breed and save the species from extinction.

Mrac [35]

Answer;

The mismatched pair is;

C) receptor proteins — bind with enzymes

Explanation;

- A receptor protein is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell. When such chemical signals bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue response, e.g. a change in the electrical activity of a cell.

-They are generally trans-membrane proteins, which bind to signaling molecules outside the cell and subsequently transmit the signal through a sequence of molecular switches to internal signaling pathways. There are two types of receptors: internal receptors and cell-surface receptors.
