The figure below shows the processes that occur during vision. Answer the following questions with regards to this figure and the signal cascade triggered by adrenaline through the B-adrenergic receptor. The light receptor rhodopsin (Rh) has an analogous structure to the B-adrenergic receptor therefore this receptor should be O A a GPCR. O B. a ligand-gated ion channel. oca B-barrel protein. a tyrosine kinase with two subunits that dimerize. O E a globular protein.

Which of the following is the best description of how a G protein coupled receptor responds to a ligand binding? O Binding of ligand to the receptor causes the G protein to swap out GTP for GDP Binding of ligand to the receptor causes the G proteins to dimerize and trigger cross-phosphorylation Binding of ligand to the receptor causes the G protein to become activated, then the G protein travels through the plasma membrane to activate an enzyme Binding of ligand to the G protein triggers it to swap out GDP for GTP, causing it to become activated OOO O

The figure below shows a signaling pathway activated by the binding of adrenaline to the beta-adrenergic receptor. Binding of adrenaline to the receptor causes GTP-binding and activation of G proteins. Active GTP-boundG protein activates adenylate cyclase to initiate a signaling cascade that affects cellular responses, and includes cellular changes to mediate increased heart rate and accounts for the flight-or-fight response. activated adrenaline activated B-adrenergic receptor adenylate cyclase adenylate cyclase G protein subunit GTP 3.
