Chapter 1, Problem 19RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The consequences of maintenance of physiological regulatory mechanisms by positive feedback rather than by negative feedback.
Introduction:
The feedback mechanism in biology allows the living organism to respond against the changes in the surroundings. Feedback loops can either increase or decrease the change. If an output amplifies the change in a system producing it, it is called a positive feedback loop. If an output reduces the input then it is known as a negative feedback loop.

What sort of cellular changes would you expect a sailor sick with scurvy to experience?
O Their collagen (an extracellular matrix component) would be diminished, resulting in fewer binding sites for
integrins. The end result would be less adherent cells.
O Their collagen (a cytoskeletal fiber) would be diminished, resulting in a loss of contractile motion within the
cell, affecting both cell migration and muscle function.

- Why each subsystem is important for life?arrow_forwardAccording to your hypothesis about the relationship between temperature and the rate of cellular respiration (as temperature increases, rate of cellular respiration increases and vice versa), answer the following questions: What was the reason that you thought your independent variable would affect the dependent? That is, what cell structures do you think would be affected by the independent variable you chose? (Think of enzymes, membranes, organelles, etc.) What was the reason for the relationship you chose? That is, why did you think the independent variable would make the dependent increase or decrease? What would the results (and graph) look if they did NOT support your claim/hypothesis?arrow_forwardYou want to find a drug which inhibits this calcium response pathway in normal cells where it is activated by a signal molecule (red dot). You decide to do mass screening to find that drug. You obtain a large collection of chemical compounds to screen. You make sure that they do not kill the cells and you test them in the following way: you treat the cells with the compounds and then stimulate the cells with the signal molecule (red dot) and analyze the response. Only one compound had an effect you call it drug#1. When the cells are treated with drug#1, and then stimulated with the signal molecule, you find that: 1) cytosolic calcium concentration is low, 2) DAG is not found in membranes, and 3) G-proteins binds GTP normally in drug-treated cells. Give a possible mechanism of action of this drug.arrow_forward
