Summary Introduction

(b) Prime mover

(c) Synergist

(d) Agonist

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Solution:

(c) Synergist: The term “synergist” refers to the working together of two or more components. Similarly, the combined effect thus generated is referred to as the synergistic effect.

Explanation of Solution

An agonist is a muscle that is responsible for generating a specific movement. It might also be referred to as the prime mover, for example, the pectoralis muscle. Synergists help the agonist or the prime mover in completing its movement by aiding a small amount offorce or avoiding the movements that are not necessary.

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
