A. Signal transduction in cells can happen in two fundamental ways once a signal arrives at the cell membrane. Using diagrams to aid your explanations, compare these two different types of signal transduction and explain why they occur differently. How is the signal amplified and briefly describe the kinds of cell responses (at least 4) that can occur in cells.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION The properties oflife emerge at the biological level of the cell. The highly regulated process of apoptosis is not simply the destruction of acell; it is also an emergent property. Write a short essay (about100–150 words) that briefly explains the role of apoptosis inthe development and proper functioning of an animal, and describe how this form of programmed cell death is a process thatemerges from the orderly integration of signaling pathways.
Much of what we know about cellsignaling comes from biochemicalstudies of isolated proteins in testtubes. What is the precise quantitativebehavior of intracellular signalingnetworks in an intact cell, or in anintact animal, where countless othersignals and cell components mightinfluence signaling specificity andstrength?
cab # . lock fn QUESTION 3 Identify an important difference between the cytoplasm of the axon and that of the axon terminal. Choose the correct option O a. Axon terminals have more microtubules KE →1 O b. The axon has more synaptic vesicles than the axon terminal O c. Ribosomes are present in the axon terminal O d. There are large numbers of mitochondria in the axon terminal esc QUESTION 4 True or False. Pathological changes in axonal microtubule-associated proteins (MAPS) are called tau. This pathological change is implicated in the dementia that accompanies Alzheimer's disease. O True O False QUESTION 5 What is retrograde axoplasmic transport?

Science of Curiosity a. Signals released by one cell type can travel long distances to target cells of another cell type. Which system of the body is responsible for sending out cell signals that go a long distance? ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES Long Distance § Neurotransmitters § Plant immune response § Quorum sensing in bacteria § Morphogens in embryonic development § Insulin § Human growth hormone § Testosterone § Estrogen endocrine oYstem Explain how this system achieves long distance cell signaling to communicate with body tissues far away from the signaling cell. Use the example of insulin and define "target cell' in your explanation. semenda ong dis Th oystem sends Yong dis cll In terms of speed and longevity in the body, compare the Endocrine System (like insulin or growth hormone signals) and the Nervous System signaling (neurotransmitters).

What is the actual “signal” that is being transduced inany signal transduction pathway, such as those shownin Figures 11.6 and 11.10? In what way is this information being passed from the exterior to the interior ofthe cell?
Of membrane-bound receptors and nuclear receptors, which is betteradapted for mediating a response that lasts a considerable length oftime, and which is better for mediating a response with a rapid onset andshort duration? Explain why.
Non-canonical Hedgehog signaling results in actin cytoskeleton rearrangements, leading to cellmovement and changes in cell shape. Describe how changes to the actin cytoskeleton lead to cellmovement and changes in cell shape.You do not need to draw out the signaling pathway again (#1b). Your answer should focus onthe changes to the actin cytoskeleton. Drawings will be helpful!
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.
Which of the following would not inhibit signal transduction? a. Phosphate groups are removed from proteins. b. Endocytosis acts on receptors and their bound signals. c. Receptors and signaling molecules separate. d. Receptors and bound signaling molecules enter lysosomes. e. Autophosphorylation targets the cytoplasmic portion of the receptor.
3. Based on the diagram above and your labels, propose a definition for "transduction" in the context of a signal transduction pathway. 4. Amplification often occurs during the signal transduction step of the cell communication pathway. Explain how the signal above was amplified and draw an arrow on the image to indicate where amplification occurred. 5. List three possible cellular responses that could occur due to a signal being received by a target cell. Hint: look at Figure 6-2 in your book or on the second page of your notes,
