a)

High blood sugar

b)

Low blood pH

c)

High heart rate

d)

Low cellular ATP concentration

12.

If a medicine works by blocking a secondary messenger, what effect would it have on that cell signaling pathway?

a)

It would increase the response if the pathway

b)

It would trigger the release of more ligands

c)

It would activate the transcription of a desired gene

d)

It would inhibit transduction, thus deactivating the response
