Which statement best describes how
molecular complementarity enables
specificity during a signaling event?
The molecular shape of two molecules should
have a small amount of complementarity.
The molecular shape of two molecules should
have a large amount of overall
complementarity that involves weak
interactions at multiple different sites.
The molecular shape of two molecules should
have a large amount of overall
complementarity that involves strong
interactions at multiple different sites.
The molecular shape of two molecules should
have a large amount of overall
complementarity that involves covalent
interactions at multiple different sites.
Signaling within organisms can occur using action potentials (short-term signaling) and/or hormones (long-term
signaling). Identify situations where each type of signaling would be better. Describe why having a long-term signaling
system is beneficial to organisms (2-3 sentences).
Below is a diagram of the canonical Wnt signalling pathway. Numbers 1-7 refer to different molecules involved in the pathway.
