G proteins are a family of proteins involved in transmitting chemical signals originating from outside a cell into the inside of the cell. G proteins function as molecular switches. Which of the following best describes the role in which the G protein is most intimately involved in the process shown above?

Production of the ligand molecule.

Production of response to signal.

What is being depicted in the image?

Amplification of the signal molecule

Enzymatic proteins inhibiting process of the signal transduction pathway

Kinase groups adding dimer groups to other enzymes

Diffusion of molecules within the cell due to the signaling molecule

Testosterone does not affect all cells of the body because __________.

not all cells have cytoplasmic receptors for testosterone

testosterone cannot cross the plasma membrane

not all cells in the body have membrane receptors for testosterone

it affects only cells that have ion-channel receptors

Receptors for signal molecules __________.

may be found embedded in the plasma membrane, or found within the cytoplasm or nucleus

are never found in the nucleus of a cell

all work by opening ion channels

are only found associated with the plasma membrane

Which of the following statement is correct?
