phosphorylation cascade

d)

ligands

2.

Describe what occurs when the ligand binds to the receptor.

a)

confirmation change in shape of receptor

b)

phosphorylation of ligand

c)

ligand passes through the membrane

receptor binds additional ligands

3.

Which of the following is the stage where the cell no longer divides?

a)

G0

b)

G1

c)

G2

d)

S

4.

Describe the interaction between cyclin and CdK.

a)

cyclin interacts with CdK to initiate the mitotic phase

b)

cyclin is the precursor to CdK, when synthesized allow for mitosis proceed

c)

cyclin acts as an inhibitor to CdK to wait for all DNA to be synthesized

d)

cyclin binds to CdK to initiate DNA replication

5.

Mitosis results in...

a)

2 identical diploid cells

b)

4 unique diploid cells

c)

2 unique haploid cells

d)

4 identical haploid cells

6.

Plant cells can exchange small soluble compounds with neighboring cells directly through junctions in the cell wall called -

a)

gap junctions

b)

thylakoids

c)

stomata

d)

plasmodesmata

7.

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

8.

Which of the following describes anaphase of mitosis?

a)

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear membrane is broken down

b)

Sister chromatids are separated and kinetochores begin pulling chromosomes to opposite poles

c)

Spindle fibers attach to centromeres and begin to prepare the movement of sister chromatids towards the cell's equator

d)

Homologous chromosomes are separated and kinetochores begin pulling chromosomes to opposite poles

9.

What would happen is protein phosphatases were defective?

a)

Cancerous cells would take advantage and grow uncontrollably because the cell cycle will shut down.

b)

Gametes would take advantage and grow uncontrollably because the cell cycle cannot shut down.

c)

Gametes would take advantage and grow uncontrollably because the cell cycle will shut down.

d)

Cancerous cells would take advantage and grow uncontrollably because the cell cycle cannot shut down.

10.

Which type of feedback loop would mammals use to maintain a constant body temperature or say 124.6 C?

a)

Homeostatic

b)

Postive

c)

Negative

d)

Isotonic

11.

In mitosis, how much DNA should a daughter cell at the end of cytokinesis have when compared to the original parent cell?

a)

Half the amount

b)

The exact same amount

c)

Double the amount

12.

How are cyclins and CDKs involved with the cell cycle?

a)

Cyclins stop the cell cycle from proceeding

b)

Cyclins and CDKs make up a protein ring used to perform cytokinesis

c)

Cyclins activate CDKs, which perform the work of cell division

d)

CDKs are secreted from cells to trigger division in neighboring cells
