a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which reversible binding of signaling molecule discontinues a cell’s response to a signal and maintains the ability of cell ability of the cell to respond to fresh signals.

 Introduction: A signaling molecule is usually a ligand, hormone, pheromone, or a peptide molecule that connects to the receptor and changes its shape, thereby activating specific signal transduction pathway in the target cell. Inactivation mechanism is a process by which the cell ceases its response to a signal that is adhered to the receptor, so that the respective pathway is shut down.

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which GTPase activity of G protein discontinues a cell’s response to a signal and maintains the ability of the cell to respond to fresh signals.

Introduction: G proteins are heterotrimeric proteins coupled to GPCR, G protein-coupled receptor, which spans the plasma membrane.

c.

Summary Introduction

To explain:  The way in which phosphodiesterase discontinues a cell’s response to a signal and maintains the ability of the cell to respond to fresh signals

Introduction: Phosphodiesterases are a family of enzymes that can break the phosphodiester bonds of nucleotides.

d.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which phosphatase discontinues a cell’s response to a signal and maintains the ability of the cell to respond to fresh signals

Introduction: Phosphatases are enzymes that remove a phosphate group from proteins.

The cell moved away from the source of the signaling molecule only after the addition of Compound A.   C. The cell first moved toward and then away from the signaling molecule after the addition of Compound A.   D. The cell did not move toward or away from the signaling molecule after the addition of Compound A.
