Chapter 37, Problem 3TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: An organism’s response to an external or an internal stimulus is known as its behavior. Plant movement is one of the examples of plant behaviour. The plants respond to stimulus such as light, gravity, and sometimes touch. Plant hormones are employed to provide response to a stimulus. Some of the examples of plant hormones are auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene, abscisic acid, and brassinosteroids.

Identify which of the following statements is a lie?
Select one:
a. The docking of ligands to the receptor causes receptor-associated proteins to activate another protein to continue the signaling cascade and one example of this event is the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to the EGF receptor .
b. Ligands are important to initiate signal Transduction pathway.
c. Ligands detach from the cell surface receptor in order to change the conformation of the receptor and initiate the signaling pathway.
What is the specific cause of hypertension (the communication breakdown at the molecular level):
The type of cell communication breakdown that causes this disease is through:
a. Losing the signal -
b. Signal not reaching its target -
c. Target ignoring the signal
d. Too much signal
e. Multiple breakdowns
f. Other (please describe)
Signal transduction pathways benefit cells for all of the following reasons except :
a.
they enable different cells to respond appropriately to the same signal.
b.
they can amplify and diversify a signal.
c.
they help cells use up phosphate generated by ATP breakdown.
d.
they help cells respond to signal molecules that are too large or too polar to cross the plasma membrane
