Question
You can choose one or more than one option
The dissociation constant (Kd) of a receptor is:
BIOCHEMISTRY basic
- the concentration of a ligand that produces 100% occupancy of the receptor
- the concentration of a ligand that produces 50% of the maximal effect.
- the measurement of specificity between ligand and its receptor.
- the measurement of speed by which a ligand will dissociate from its receptor.
- the measurement of affinity between a ligand and its receptor and the inverse of the association constant.
During an experiment with Drosophila, it was discovered that all females had red eyes. unlike males. A conclusion based on this observation would be:
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY basic
- The gene for eye color is located on the X chromosome.
- The females are homozygotes
- The gene for eye color is dominant.
- The eye color results from multigenic linkage.
- The eye color
phenotype is sex-linked
A secondary lysosome:
CELL BIOLOGY advanced
- a lysosome that provides a backup to the primary lysosomes
- a lysosome that is smaller than a primary lysosome
- a lysosome that will become a primary lysosome when it fuses with a phagosome
- a primary lysosome that has fused with a phagosome.
- a lysosome that has exocytosed.

- What will be the receptor probability of the active state after you add a high dose of an antagonist?arrow_forwardThe equilibrium potential for a given ion (Eion) is a theoretical value. For a given concentration gradient of an ion, the equilibrium potential is the charge inside the cell required to hold an ion at that concentration. That is, it is the charge required to perfectly oppose the drive of the ion to move down its concentration gradient. So, if the concentration of Nat is higher outside the cell than inside, its equilibrium potential (ENa) must be I and if we add more sodium to the extracellular fluid, then ENa will II.arrow_forwardThe tas2r38 gene is part of the transmembrane-domain G-coupled receptor family.

- I need help pleasearrow_forwardAlcohol affects the central nervous system by enhancing the effect ofGABA at its receptor. GABA binds to GABA receptors and opensligand-gated Cl–channels. However, chronic consumption of alcoholmakes the GABA receptor less sensitive to both alcohol and GABA,which increases alcohol dependence as well as alcohol withdrawalsymptoms, such as anxiety, tremors, and insomnia. Benzodiazepinesenhance the binding of GABA molecules to their receptors and thus aresometimes used to treat people with alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Forsynapses involving GABA, predict the effect of alcohol on the postsynaptic membranes; compare the effect of chronic alcohol consumption onthe postsynaptic membranes in these synapses; and predict the effect ofbenzodiazepine treatment on the degree of polarization of postsynapticmembranes in people who are experiencing alcohol withdrawalsymptoms.arrow_forward#1B-arrestin is always active. #2 Lack of kinase domain in BARK #3 ß1-adrenergic membrane receptor lacking it's ligand-binding domainarrow_forward
