MAKE CONNECTIONS Explain how the signaling molecules released by an embryonic cell can induce changesin a neighboring cell without entering the cell. (SeeFigures 11.15 and 11.16.)
MAKE CONNECTIONS Why is a cell-surface receptor protein notrequired for this steroid hormone to enter the cell? (See Concept 7.2.)
Descrive in 2-3 sentences an in vitro experiment that differentiates between the Arp2/3 complex’ ability to associate with both the side of the ‘mother’ actin filament and with the barbed end of the ‘mother’ actin filament. Your experiment should take advantage of capping protein (binds and blocks barbed ends), and direct visualization of actin filaments.

The highly regulated process of apoptosis is not simply the destruction of acell; it is also an emergent property.

In turn, each second messenger activates only one molecule of Enzyme B, which once activated, phosphorylates 100 molecules of Enzyme C that each phosphorylate 75 molecules of Enzyme D. In the last step, each Enzyme D phosphorylates 50 transcription factors. How many transcription factors are phosphorylated in response to the first messenger binding to the receptor? How many transcription factors would be phosphorylated if one copy of the Enzyme D gene were inactivated (heterozygous genotype) so that there were only half the number of functional Enzyme D molecules in the cell?
