1

cellular response

A(n) ________ to the environment can be critical for survival.

New cards
2

Phospholipase C

________ cleaves plasma membrane phospholipid PIP₂ producing diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3)

New cards
3

Α subunit

________ activates phospholipase c.

New cards
4

Contact dependent

________ signaling: Molecules bound to the surface of cells serve as signals to.

New cards
5

Ca2+

________ exerts a variety of effects on cell behavior.

New cards
6

Receptors

________ are comprised of extracellular and intracellular domains.

New cards
7

Direct intercellular signaling

________: Cell junctions allow signaling molecules to pass from one cell.

New cards
8

Signal transduction

________: activated receptor stimulates a sequence of changes.

New cards
9

Second messengers

________: relay signals inside cells.

New cards
10

messenger

First ________: signals binding to the cell surface.

New cards
11

Α subunit

________ binds to adenylyl cyclase enzyme**,** stimulating synthesis of cAMP.

New cards
12

Example

Glucose signals yeast cells to increase glucose transporters and enzymes allowing efficient uptake and use of glucose

New cards
13

Direct intercellular signaling

Cell junctions allow signaling molecules to pass from one cell

New cards
14

Contact-dependent signaling

Molecules bound to the surface of cells serve as signals to

New cards
15

Autocrine signaling

Cells secrete signaling molecules that bind to their own cell surface or similar neighboring cells

New cards
16

Paracrine signaling

signal does not affect originating cell, but does influence nearby cells

New cards
17

Endocrine signaling

signals called hormones travel long distances and are usually longer lasting in effect

New cards
18

Receptor activation

signaling molecule binds to receptor

New cards
19

Signal transduction

activated receptor stimulates a sequence of changes

New cards
20

First messenger

signals binding to the cell surface

New cards
21

Second messengers

relay signals inside cells

New cards
22

Signal amplification

binding of signal to one receptor can cause the synthesis of many cAMP molecules that activate PKA, and each PKA can phosphorylate many proteins

New cards
23

Speed

in one experiment a substantial amount of cAMP was made within 20 seconds after addition of signal
