Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 12TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION The properties of life emerge at the biological level of the cell. The highly regulated process of apoptosis is not simply the destruction of a cell; it is also an emergent property. Write a short essay (about 100–150 words) that hriefly explains the role of apoptosis in the development and proper functioning of an animal, and describe how this form of programmed cell death is a process that emerges from the orderly integration of signaling pathways.

Artificially induced apoptosis (controlled cellular death) is found to be an effective treat-
ment for some forms of cancer.
Which of the following describes the most likely mechanism by which apoptosis might be
induced?
A

с
D
by causing ribosomes to increase the rate of protein synthesis
by triggering the division of mitochondria in the cell to increase ATP production
by increasing the expression of membrane-bound glucose protein channels
by causing lysosomes to release digestive enzymes into the cytosol
RAS is a signal transducer that acts as a switch for turning on cell division. Drag the descriptions below to their proper places on the
figure to show the sequence of events.
When growth factor
binds to the receptor,
the intracellular domain
activates RAS by
facilitating exchange of
GDP for GTP.
When no growth factor
is bound to the
extracellular receptor,
RAS is bound to GDP
and is inactive.
RAS activates the
first of three
sequential kinase
proteins termed the
MAP kinase cascade.
Cell proliferation
proceeds as the
machinery for cell
division is set in
motion.
The end result of the
MAP kinase cascade
is activation of a
transcription factor.

- Figure 9.8 HER2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase. In 30 percent of human breast cancers, HER2 is permanently activated, resulting in unregulated cell division. Lapatinib, a drug used to treat breast cancer, inhibits HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation (the process by which the receptor adds phosphates onto itself), thus reducing tumor growth by 50 percent. Besides autophosphorylation, which of the following steps would be inhibited by Lapatinib? Signaling molecule binding, dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. Dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. The downstream cellular response. Phosphatase activity, dimerization, and the downsteam cellular response.arrow_forwardurgntarrow_forwardThe best strategy for treating a specific type of human tumor can depend on identifying the type of cell that became cancerous to give rise to the tumor. For some tumors that have colonized a distant location (metastasized), identifying the parental cell type can be difficult. Because the type of IF protein expressed is cell-type-specific, using monoclonal antibodies that react with only one type of IF protein can help in this identification. What IF proteins would you produce monoclonal antibodies against to identify (a) a sarcoma of muscle cell origin, (b) an epithelial cell carcinoma, and (c) an astrocytoma (glial cell tumor)?arrow_forward

- A. Signal transduction in cells can happen in two fundamental ways once a signal arrives at the cell membrane. Using diagrams to aid your explanations, compare these two different types of signal transduction and explain why they occur differently. How is the signal amplified and briefly describe the kinds of cell responses (at least 4) that can occur in cells.arrow_forwardMany common medications function by interrupting the normal operation of certain signal transduction pathways. Which of the following describes a possible mechanism by which a certain medication may interrupt a signal transduction pathway? A A medication enters the target cell and triggers apoptosis by causing the release of di- gestive enzymes from cell lysosomes. B A medication interacts with the phospholipid bi-layer of the cell membrane and in- creases its permeability. с D A medication binds to membrane-bound glucose proteins and acts as an allosteric in- hibitor that prevents the intake of glucose by the cell. A medication diffuses through the membrane of a target cell and inhibits an enzyme that normally synthesizes a second messenger.arrow_forwardA current focus of molecular medicine is to trigger or promote apoptosis of specific cells. several components of the apoptotic pathways are being targeted using this approach. for following, state specifically how the treatment would be expected to stimulate or inhibit apoptosis. c.
