Chapter 9, Problem 26CTQ
Cells grown in the laboratory are mixed with a dye molecule that is unable to pass through the plasma membrane. If a ligand is added to the cells, observations show that the dye enters the cells. What type of receptor did the ligand bind to on the cell surface?

- What is Plasma Membrane Receptors?arrow_forwardWhat are the three types of cell signal receptors found in the plasma membrane?arrow_forwardGap junctions and tunneling nanotubes are two distinct types of direct intracellular communication. In comparing and contrasting gap junctions and tunneling nanotubes, which of the following statements is true? gap junctions provide a portal for small molecules, proteins and small organelles to move from cell to cell, tunneling nanotubes only permit small molecules to pass between cells typically, there are only two gap junctions that exist between adjacent cells that are communicating via this mechanism; on the other hand, there are many tunneling nanotubes between communicating cells both gap junctions and tunneling nanotubes can pass small molecules between cells none of the above is truearrow_forward
- Name and define (briefly) the four different types of receptors involved in Cellsignaling. Give an example of a ligand and specific type of receptor (where would you find the receptor?) for one of the receptors defined.arrow_forwardCan the number of receptors in a cell’s membrane change over time?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is false? Question 11 options: a) Nucleotides and amino acids can act as extracellular signal molecules. b) Some signal molecules can bind directly to intracellular proteins that bind DNA and regulate gene transcription. c) Some signal molecules are transmembrane proteins. d) Dissolved gases such as nitric oxide (NO) can act as signal molecules, but because they cannot interact with proteins they must act by affecting membrane lipids.arrow_forward
- Which of the following happens if the concentration of potassium in the extracellular fluid increases too much?A) Potassium would be taken up by the oligodendrocytes, so no net change in signaaaling would result. B) No signaling could occur. C) The Neuron would become hyperexcitable D) The sodium pumps would immediately fix the situation, so no net change in signaling would result.arrow_forwardCompare/contrast intracellular vs. plasma membrane receptors. Where is each receptor located, and what type of signal molecule binds to each receptor?arrow_forward15. In order to function, all extracellular signal molecules must be transported by their receptor across the plasma membrane into the cytosol. A) True B) False Answer: Explanation:arrow_forward
- All except which one of the following can be a function of the heterotrimeric G protein of a GPCR? a) inhibit adenylyl cyclase b) activate adenylyl cyclase c) act as a protein kinase d) activate ion channelsarrow_forwardWhat would happen in each of the following cases where something related to intracellular transport is altered? Assume in each case that the protein involved is a soluble protein, not a membrane protein. State where each protein would be located and explain each of your answers. You change the hydrophobic amino acids in an ER signal sequence into negatively charged amino acids. You discover a protein that has both an ER signal sequence and a nuclear localization sequence. The ER signal sequence is at the N-terminus of the protein, and the nuclear localization sequence is located in the middle of the protein.arrow_forwardThe inside negative membrane potential is a force that helps support... a.) the movement of (neutral) nonelectrolytes into the cell b.) the movement of cations into the cell c.) the movement of (neutral) nonelectrolytes out of the cell d.) the movement of anions into the cellarrow_forward
