Are all signals and receptors the same in all cells?

Back

No, different types of cells have different receptors and respond to different signals.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the correct order of cell communication?

Back

The correct order is reception, transduction, response.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the purpose of phosphorylation cascades in cell signaling?

Back

Phosphorylation cascades are often used for amplification of the signal.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What factors determine whether a signal molecule binds on the surface or enters the cell?

Back

The nature of the signal molecule (polar vs. nonpolar) and the type of receptor present on the cell determine this.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is signal transduction?

Back

Signal transduction is the process by which a cell converts an external signal into a functional response.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What role do receptors play in cell communication?

Back

Receptors are proteins that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a cellular response.
