Students have asked these similar questions
When a single celled slime mold has run out of food source, the cell will initiate the cell signaling process that results in the release of cyclic-AMP (CAMP). CAMP then
acts as a signal that has two results
1) the cell tells itself it is still in fact without food and to continue the signal
2) the cell tells other local/neighboring single celled slime molds that there is not food near by so they too can scream the CAMP signal of hunger.
What type of signal distance is accomplished in result 17?
O a.
autocrine
O b
endocrine
рarасrine
O d. synaptic
e.
contact dependent
Please consider providing answers to both parts of the question in detailed manner.

- Eukaryotic signal transduction pathways often involve multiple proteins transmitting a signal from the cell surface to the nucleus. What advantage is gained through the use of multiple steps? Many signal transduction pathways are used in different cell types for entirely different purposes, leading to the transcription of different genes. How might different cell types be able to use a single signal transduction pathway to bring about such different results?arrow_forwarda) b) You walk into university and see that everyone has become a unicorn. You try to hide in bluezone only to figure out that everyone can sense you. You are kidnapped by a unicorn, and they ask you: "How do kinases work?" You wake up realizing it was all a dream, but you still wonder: how do kinases work? Hydrolyze the protein and then ATP to activate it First hydrolyze ATP and then transfer Pi to activate a protein Tranfer a free Pi and then hydrolyze ATP to make more free Pi Bind GTP after releasing GDP from the alpha subunitarrow_forwardWhat are three types of signaling processes based on their transduction distance?
