"Although PTC is not found in nature, the ability to taste it correlates strongly with the ability to taste other bitter substances that do occur naturally, many of which are toxins."
Why would knowing if you are a taster or non-taster of PTC be important to survival in the wild?
This is a hereditary feature, according to PTC (phenylthiocarbamide), Also known as phenylthiourea and non-taster status has been connected to several medical and health problems. The capacity to taste PTC was inherited through a single autosomal dominant gene. PTC is a bitter-tasting, non-toxic chemical compound (14), and it belongs to the "thioureas" class of compounds. The chemical group N-C=S in these molecules is responsible for their characteristic bitter taste.

- Below are the structures of thiourea and PTC. Most AVI/AVI individuals can taste thiourea but not PTC. How might the structures of these chemicals account for the differential sensitivity of AVI/AVI individuals to thiourea and PTC? Both compounds act primarily through the TAS2R38 receptor (and not other TAS2R class receptors).Which of the following contain statements that are both correct? Aspartame triggers the cellular signaling cascade via activation of cAMP as secondary messenger. Primary role of non-nutritive sweeteners is to provide energy for the body. Increase in cAMP and IP3 levels promotes increase in intracellular Ca+2 ions. Phytochemicals that elicit sweet sensation are considered natural sweeteners. Each taste buds contain only one taste receptor cell type, which results to a predominant taste modality on specific tongue locations. In a 250g carbohydrate meal, a total of 1 kcal of energy is produced. Ligand binding to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) promotes the activation of heterotrimeric G-proteins. G-proteins are activated through direct phophorylation of GDP that is bound to the a-subunit.In most neurons, membrane depolarization leads to the opening of voltage-dependent ion channels, generation of an action potential, and, ultimately, an influx of Ca2+, which causes release of neurotransmitter at the axon terminus. Devise a cellular strategy by which hyperpolarization in rod cells could produce excitation of the visual pathway and passage of visual signals to the brain. (Hint: The neuronal signaling pathway in higher organisms consists of a series of neurons that relay information to the brain. The signal released by one neuron can be either excitatory or inhibitory to the following, postsynaptic neuron.)

- Halle Zingiber has been granted refugee status in this country. He has had to leave his wife and two children in Ethiopia. He is severely depressed and is receiving treatment with the tricyclic depressant, nortriptyline. No effects were reported when standard doses of the drug (25 mg tds) were used. His doctor increased the dose many-fold to 200 mg/day a dose, which is inducing effects. Can you explain Halle’s unusual response to therapy?Some insecticides are inhibitors of AChe. What will happen to people exposes to a high dosage of insectisides (heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, skin changes, bowel movements, vision and muscle strength? Why?Pathogens have a variety of traits that interact with a host and enable the pathogen to enter a host, adhere to host cells, gain access to nutrients, and escape detection or removal by the immune system. These traits are called virulence factors. The following enzymes and toxin can act as virulence factors and contribute to bacteria’s pathogenicity. What are the specific actions of the following enzymes and toxin that make them virulence factors? Coagulase Kinase (such as staphylokinases and streptokinases) Hyaluronidase Collagenase Cytotoxin
- Which of the following correctly describes cholera toxin and its effect on intestinal epithelial cells? O Cholera toxin.is an extracellular signal that decreases adenylyl cyclase activity. O Cholera toxin is an extracellular signal that increases the dephosphorylation of protein kinase A. O Cholera toxin is an intracellular signal that decreases intracellular CAMP concentration. O Cholera toxin is an intracellular signal that increases extracellular chloride ion concentration.Which of the following is most likely an example of signaling through a transmembrane receptor? The influenza virus recognizes specific proteins on the surface of host cells, causing the entrance of genetic materials into the cytoplasm of the host cells. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) bind to receptor proteins found on the membrane of receiving cells, triggering its internalization into the receiving cells. The binding of interleukin-6 (IL-6) to the interleukin-6 receptor causes the activation of protein kinases in the cytoplasm, activating the transcription factor NF-κB. The binding of aldosterone to the aldosterone receptor activates its transcription activity, leading to the transcription of genes that promote the uptake of ions and water.Long-distance runners (26.2 miles) describe Runner’s High as a feeling of euphoria. It is often described as a feeling of being invincible and individuals claim a lost sense of time while running. Runner’s high is believed to be caused by very small molecules called endocannabinoids released by the brain that affect the way a person feels, moves, and reacts. Based on the information above what you know of interacting systems, which of the following two are correct? A. If the release of endocannabinoid molecules is increased, the runner will not experience the feeling of euphoria and will stop running. B. The muscular system is not affected by the release of endocannabinoids, which are released by the nervous system. C. If the function of the nervous system is compromised and endocannabinoids are not released, the function of the muscular system is affected and prolonged endurance will be jeopardized. D. The release of endocannabinoids at the cellular level plays an indirect…
