Asap please
Just give the answers please
The binding of small amounts of hormones to target cell receptors triggers an intricate signal cascade. Why is the signal cascade necessary? Why not just have a simple molecularmechanism between the hormone and cellular effect?

- Yellow: Did not have answers from anyone but confident based on notes Question 1: Insulin can have pleiotropic (wide ranging) effects in cells because...? 1. The insulin receptor phosphorylates with a family of substrates inside the cell 2. There are over 20 versions of the insulin receptor expressed in vertebrates 3. The insulin receptor heterodimers with the GH and PRL receptors 4. MRAP (membrane associated receptor proteins) couple the insulin receptor to different effector pathways Question 2: Cholecystokinin (CCK) is accurately described by which of the following statements? 1. It is not a member of the peptide hormone superfamily 2. It binds to a 1-TMS receptor that signals through guanylate cyclase 3. It is sulphated on tyrosine residues for full activity 4. It is proteolytically released from POMC by gut cells Question 3: Insulin... 1. Is released from the pancreas in vertebrates and invertebrates 2.

- Under in vivo conditions, chronic treatment with a noncompetitive antagonist may lead to the up-regulation of the targeted receptor over time. True False Cytokines are peptides that are generally made in advance by specific types of cells, stored in vesicles, and act as autocrine or paracrine factors. True False Thyroid hormone is stored in an extracellular compartment. True Falsearrow_forwardhow should think about this process ? Thyroid hormones generate a response in their target cell by Group of answer choices binding to its surface receptors. by binding to an intracellular receptor and promoting gene expression by binding to a ligand-gated receptor by binding to a tyrosine kinase receptor.arrow_forwardHi, Can you elaborate about how genetic control of hormone formation can be used to treat endocrinopathies. Thanks in advance.arrow_forward

Which would you expect to have a faster effect: a steroid hormone or a peptide hormone? Explain your answer. 2. Give an example of a hormone that is controlled by a negative feedback loop. Explain what the hormone regulates and what controls the release and inhibition of the hormone. 3. The nervous system and the endocrine system are, of course, different but they have many features in common. List five things that the endocrine system and the nervous system have in common. 4. List 5 factors that can affect red blood cell production and/or the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen? 5. Blood pressure is regulated by baroreceptors, which are located in the aorta and the carotid arteries. In response to signals from these receptors, the cardiac control center of the medulla will send signals to reduce the force of ventricular contractions. Given this sort of control, why do people develop high blood pressure?arrow_forwardHOMEWORK 14!arrow_forward
- 7 of 41 Which statement relating to endocrine signaling is false? O Histamine is a paracrine O Hormonal signals enter the bloodstream, so hormones influence all cells with which they come in contact Hormones are released to the extracellular fluid and then diffuse into the bloodstream. O Some endocrine cells exist as single cells within a tissue. O Hormones, paracrines, and autocrines bind to receptorsarrow_forwardPls helparrow_forwardPlz do it matches the following questionsarrow_forward
