Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 3TYU
Lipid-soluble signaling molecules, such as aldosterone, cross the membranes of all cells but affect only target cells because
(A) only target cells retain the appropriate DNA segments.
(B) intracellular receptors are present only in target cells.
(C) only target cells have enzymes that break down aldosterone.
(D) only in target cells is aldosterone able to initiate the phosphorylation cascade that turns genes on.

It is important for the cell to be able to terminate responses, and diminish responsiveness to prevent overstimulation. Cells have different mechanisms for this. One such mechanism is receptor down regulation.
a.) Down regulation describes a decrease in the availability of hormones or neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, making the cells less likely to be stimulated.
b.) Down regulation describes glycosylation of receptor proteins receptors on the surface of target cells in order to decrease the selectivity of ligand binding, making the cells less sensitive to a hormone or neurotransmitter.
c.) Down regulation describes a decrease in the number of receptors on the surface of target cells, making the cells less sensitive to a hormone or neurotransmitter.
Endothelins are 21-amino acid vasoconstricting peptides produced primarily in the endothelium. They have an important role in vascular homeostasis. Endothelin activates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ETA or ETB on a target cell. Which subunit of heterotrimeric G protein is released when the receptor is activated?
a.) gamme
b.) beta
c.) alpha
Which of the following statements is true?
Question 2 options:
a)
All cells will respond to the hormonal signal because hormones are broadcast throughout the body.
b)
The regulation of inflammatory responses at the site of an infection is an example of paracrine signaling.
c)
Paracrine signaling involves the secretion of stimuli into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the organism.
d)
The axons of neurons typically signal target cells using membrane-bound signaling molecules that act on receptors in the target cells.
