Chapter 9, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Cells respond to the changing environment such as light, water, nutrient that causes some changes in cell, which helps in adapting to the new environment. Cells; can also generate signal to stop their own life processes, which results into the programmed cell death.

- Many common medications function by interrupting the normal operation of certain signal transduction pathways. Which of the following describes a possible mechanism by which a certain medication may interrupt a signal transduction pathway? A A medication enters the target cell and triggers apoptosis by causing the release of di- gestive enzymes from cell lysosomes. B A medication interacts with the phospholipid bi-layer of the cell membrane and in- creases its permeability. с D A medication binds to membrane-bound glucose proteins and acts as an allosteric in- hibitor that prevents the intake of glucose by the cell. A medication diffuses through the membrane of a target cell and inhibits an enzyme that normally synthesizes a second messenger.arrow_forwardWhich of the following proteins would least likely promote arrest of cell division or apoptosis?
