A. What are the 4 key signalling cues communicated within a cell to regulate cellular behaviour.
B. How are these signalling cues abnormal in cancerous cells?
GIVE GRAPHICAL MODEL BASED ON GIVEN INFORMATION:
There are three elements in this specific model:
Alpha Secretase: This node represents the variable or concept of Alpha Secretase, a proteolytic enzyme that cleaves Beta-Amyloid molecules.
Beta-Amyloid Formation: This node represents the variable or concept of Beta-Amyloid Formation, which describes the process of the formation and accumulation of Beta-Amyloid protein in the brain. It is regarded as toxic and contributes to the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Calcium signaling: This node represents the variable or concept of Calcium Signaling, which refers to the cellular process involving the regulation and influx of calcium ions. Alzheimer's disease is known to influence calcium signaling pathways.
The directed edges in the graph indicate the causal relationships between the variables. The situation:
There is a directed edge between Alpha Secretase and Beta-Amyloid Formation, indicating that Alpha Secretase has a direct…

Michael P. was very weak from birth, with poor muscle tone, difficulty breathing, and great fatigue. By his third month, he began having seizures. Michael’s medical tests were normal except for one: his cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord) was unusually high in glucose. Hypothesizing that the boy could not produce enough ATP, doctors gave him a diet rich in certain fatty acids that caused the cellular respiration pathway to resume at the point of acetyl CoA formation. Michael rapidly improved. Explain what caused his symptoms. HINT What part of cellular respiration was not working in Michael's cells?

She decided to process her diagnosis at the local coffee shop. Curling up in an oversized chair with a warm cookie and peppermint hot cocoa with whipped cream always made her feel better. Sitting alone would give her time to think. How could something so important go so wrong in her cells? How did cells get or make the mitochondria anyway? Obviously, cells could survive without mitochondria if they had to, so why had mitochondria evolved in the first place? Just then, Ali, a fellow student in her biology class who made it a point to sit near her each class, walked over to strike up a conversation. "Hi Ivy! Whať's up?" Trying to avoid conversation, Ivy simply shrugged and mumbled, “Not much." Ali gave her a big smile and said "I've noticed that you take good notes in bio, would you want to study together...…arrow_forward
