) in the bone marrow during the self-tolerance test.
Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline or adrenalin) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter. The model for the action of epinephrine is shown below.
Which of the following molecules act as a second messenger in the cascade by which epinephrine stimulates the activation of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase?
adenosine

citric acid
cyclic amp
Transmission through a neuron occurs in a predictable order. Which of the following sequences represents the conduction pathway through the motor neuron shown in the diagram above?
1—3—4—5
2—1—4—5
5—3—1—2
2—1—3—5
Given the steps shown below, which of the following is the correct transmission sequence at a chemical synapse?
1. Neurotransmitter binds with receptor
2. Sodium ions rush into neuron’s cytoplasm
3. Action potential depolarizes the presynaptic membrane
4. Ion channel opens to allow particular ion to enter cell
5. Synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft
4-3-1-2-5
2-3-5-4-1
1-2-3-4-5
3-2-5-1-4
Acetylcholine, a common neurotransmitter, is synthesized in the pre-synaptic end of a neuron and released into the synaptic cleft as shown in the illustration above. What would be a likely result of an increase in the amount of acetylcholinesterase present in the synaptic cleft?
More sodium would enter the sodium/potassium ion channels of the postsynaptic dendrite
More potassium would enter sodium/potassium ion channels of the postsynaptic dendrite
Fewer sodium/potassium ion channels would be opened in the postsynaptic dendrite
Fewer vesicles in the pre-synaptic axon terminal would contain acetylcholine
The diagram below graphs an action potential. Use the Roman Numerals to indicate your answer to the following questions.
A neuron that is not conducting an action potential would have a membrane potential that is most like the value at
I and II
I and III
I and IV
II and III
Lipid-soluble signaling molecules, such as testosterone, cross the membranes of all cells but affect only target cells because __________.
only target cells retain the appropriate DNA segments
most cells lack the Y chromosome required
only target cells possess the cytosolic enzymes that transduce the testosterone
only in target cells is testosterone able to initiate the phosphorylation cascade leading to activated transcription factor
intracellular receptors are present only in target cells
The cellular response of a signal pathway that terminates at a transcription factor would be __________.
the synthesis of mRNA
the activation of an inactive enzyme
alteration of the cytoskeleton
a change in the chemical composition of the cytosolic environment
the activation of a metabolic pathway

protein cyclase
Phosphorylation cascades involving a series of protein kinases are useful for cellular signal transduction because __________.
they are species specific.
the number of molecules used is small and fixed.
they always lead to the same cellular response.
they amplify the original signal manyfold.
they counter the harmful effects of phosphatases.
Receptors for signal molecules __________.
all work via protein kinases
are never found in the nucleus of a cell
may be found embedded in the plasma membrane, or found within the cytoplasm or nucleus
all work by opening ion channels
are only found associated with the plasma membrane
