How a Signal Travels to the Target

simple diffusion

O2 In this cell type there is a high gradient of O2 outside of the cell and a low gradient inside of the cell. This cell needs to move more O2 from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.

There are several ways in which a signaling ligand will leave the source cell and travel to the target cell. Signal ligands, such as [ Select ] ["amino acids", "proteins", "eicosanoids"] , can pass through the source cell membrane without the help of a transport protein and are usually [ Select ] ["small", "large"] and/or [ Select ] ["hydrophobic", "hydrophilic"] . These types of ligands leave the source cell using [ Select ] ["exocytosis", "simple diffusion", "primary active transport", "facilitated diffusion"] and are made [ Select ] ["as needed because they can't be stored for later", "any time and stored for later use in a vesicle"] . Signal ligands, such as [ Select ] ["eicosanoids", "steroids", "amines"] , can NOT pass through the source cell membrane without the help of a transport protein and are usually [ Select ] ["small", "large"] and/or [ Select ] ["hydrophobic", "hydrophilic"] . These types of ligands leave the source cell using [ Select ] ["exocytosis", "osmosis", "simple diffusion"] and are made [ Select ] ["as needed because they can't be stored for later", "any time and stored for later use in a vesicle"] . When traveling to the target cells, ligands can use different routes. *Gap junctions in animals and [ Select ] ["tight junctions", "desmosomes", "plasmodesmata"] in plants are tiny channels that connect neighboring cells and allow for [ Select ] ["paracrine", "direct", "endocrine"] communication. *The type of signaling in which cells communicate over relatively short distances is known as [ Select ] ["direct", "paracrine", "endocrine"] signaling. One unique example of this type of signaling is [ Select ] ["hormonal", "synaptic", "juxtacrine"] signaling, in which the source cell is a neuron. In [ Select ] ["endocrine", "juxtacrine", "autocrine"] signaling, a cell signals to itself, releasing a ligand that binds to its own cell surface or intracellular receptors. * In [ Select ] ["endocrine", "direct", "paracrine"] signaling, ligands (known as hormones) travel to target cells through the blood.

Singer and Nicolsen described plasma membranes as a [ Select ] ["fluxional gallimaufry", "polymerization and adhesion", "fluid mosaic", "Hodgkin and Huxley"] model. The second part of the model name comes because of the different components that make up the plasma membrane. The part that makes up most of the plasma membrane are [ Select ] ["steroids", "phospholipids", "triglycerides", "eicosanoids"] and because of its [ Select ] ["dualized hydrophobic", "bivalent", "amphibious", "amphipathic"] properties it forms a [ Select ] ["monolayer", "alpha helix", "bilayer", "trilayer", "double helix"] . The structure of phospholipid bilayers are critical to membrane function. Because the interior of the phospholipid bilayer is occupied by the hydrophobic fatty acid chains, the membrane is impermeable to large hydrophilic biomolecules like [ Select ] ["O2 (gas)", "H2O", "carotenoids", "amylose (starch)"] or charged molecules like [ Select ] ["Ca2+", "eicosanoids", "steroids", "CO2"] . In addition to phospholipids, the membrane also contains [ Select ] ["alpha glucose", "thromboxanes", "DNA", "cholesterol"] which sits near the fatty acid tails and helps in membrane fluidity. Another membrane component that helps in cell recognition and in the [ Select ] ["semi-", "selectivity", "non-"] permeable property of cell membranes are membrane [ Select ] ["nucleic acids", "spaces", "carbohydrates", "proteins"] . If these components are on the outside of the membrane (and not embedded), they are known as [ Select ] ["peripheral", "collaborative", "integral", "transmembrane"] . If they are embedded in the membrane they are known as integral . If these embedded components go all the way through the membrane from one side to the other they are also known as [ Select ] ["peripheral proteins", "transmembrane proteins", "cismembrane proteins", "connecting proteins"] . Membrane proteins have numerous functions. Proteins that provide a pathway for large and/or hydrophilic molecules to move across the membrane are called [ Select ] ["conveyor", "transport", "discharge", "receptor"] proteins. [ Select ] ["carrier", "channel"] proteins do NOT change shape (but can have gates) and can move solutes using facilitated diffusion across the membrane down their concentration gradient but cannot move solutes against their concentration gradient. carrier proteins change shape and can perform both active transport and facilitated diffusion.

fluid mosaic, phospholipids, amphipathic, bilayer, hydrophobic, amylose (starch), Ca2+, cholesterol, selectivity, proteins, peripheral, integral, transmembrane proteins, transport, channel, carrier

There are carbohydrates and even simple sugars that are associated with the cell membrane. If a carbohydrate is bound to a phospholipid in the membrane it is called a _____ . If a carbohydrate is bound to a membrane-bound protein then that carbohydrate is called a _______ .

h2o

It is important that cells maintain [ Select ] ["homeostasis", "equilibrium"] . By this we mean they must maintain the correct pH, the correct amount of small and large molecules, the correct temperature, etc. To do this process requires work. The three types of cellular work are [ Select ] ["transport work, chemical work and mechanical work", "Active transport, passive transport and facilitated diffusion", "dehydration reactions, hydrolysis reactions and redox reactions", "motor proteins, vesicles and microtubules"] . For example, cells must transport ions, such as Na+ or H+ across cell membranes. To do work requires energy. Metabolism is all the chemical reactions taking place in your cell. [ Select ] ["Catabolism", "Anabolism", "Metabolism"] refers to reactions that build molecules and require energy whereas [ Select ] ["Metabolism", "Anabolism", "Catabolism"] is the reactions that break down molecules to release energy. Cells harvest energy by doing the metabolic process of [ Select ] ["energy", "big muscles", "photosynthesis", "glycolysis", "aerobic cellular respiration"] . In this process cells break down the covalent bonds in glucose, a higher energy molecule, to produce the lower energy molecules, carbon dioxide and water. In this exergonic process, energy is [ Select ] ["used", "released"] . Enzymes in the mitochondria are able to harvest some of the energy and use it to phosphorylate ADP to build [ Select ] ["glucose", "ATP", "sugar", "fat"] . This activated energy carrier molecule can then be used to power work taking place throughout the cell. The energy that is not harvested during this process becomes [ Select ] ["enthalpy", "Gibbs free energy", "entropy"] . This form of energy shows up mostly as heat. In contrast, Equilibrium is [ Select ] ["bad", "good"] for cells. When a cell is at equilibrium it can no longer do the work of staying alive. Organisms avoid reaching equilibrium by eating and by getting rid of waste every day. They can do this because cells are [ Select ] ["Closed", "Open"] systems. If your cells reach equilibrium they can no longer do the work of staying alive, and therefore, once you run out of ATP, you die. You need to eat each day so your cells will have complex molecules, such as glucose, which they can then break down by the process of cellular respiration. Most of the enzymes that catalyze aerobic cellular respiration to produce ATP are located in the [ Select ] ["nucleus", "lysosomes", "mitochondria", "smooth endoplasmic reticulum", "chloroplasts"]

homeostasis, transport work/chemical work and mechanical work, anabolism, catabolism, aerobic cellular respiration, released, ATP, entropy, bad, open, mitochondria

There are [ Select ] ["1", "2", "3", "0", "4"] peptide bonds present in this protein. The first amino acid in this structure is a [ Select ] ["charged - acidic", "polar", "charged - basic", "non-polar"] amino acid. The second amino acid in this structure is a [ Select ] ["non-polar", "polar", "charged-basic", "charged - acidic"] amino acid. The third amino acid in this structure is a [ Select ] ["non-polar", "charged - acidic", "polar", "charged - basic"] amino acid.

primary, 2, charged-acidic, non-polar, polar

Cell transport is essential for life. If you are feeling stressed right now you are making the steroid hormone cortisol. Since the cell making cortisol has a high concentration of cortisol compared to outside the cell, that cell will use [ Select ] ["simple diffusion", "secondary active transport", "facilitated diffusion", "bulk transport", "primary active transport"] to move that cortisol from inside, where is was made in the [ Select ] ["rough ER", "mitochondria", "smooth ER", "nucleus", "lysosome"] , to outside of that cell. If you are really scared of this quiz (which, we hope you are not because you have studied and know you are prepared) then the cells of your adrenal medulla might be releasing large amounts of epinephrine - a, large, hydrophilic, catecholamine - into your blood all at the same time using [ Select ] ["pinocytosis", "simple diffusion", "secondary active transport", "phagocytosis", "primary active transport", "facilitated diffusion", "exocytosis"] . Both of these hormones - the cortisol and epinephrine - can help you deal with the stressful situation. Part of cell transport is the moving of ions. These ions are often called electrolytes. If a cell has a high gradient for Mg2+ outside of the cell (compared to the inside of the cell) then that cell would use [ Select ] ["simple diffusion", "facilitated diffusion", "secondary active transport", "primary active transport", "pinocytosis"] to move that Mg2+ from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell. If that same cell had a high gradient of K+ inside of that cell and a low gradient of K+ outside of the cell and the cell needed to get more K+ into it then that cell would use [ Select ] ["secondary active transport", "simple diffusion", "receptor-mediated endocytosis", "primary active transport", "facilitated diffusion"] to move that K+ inside. Cells can also move nutrients as part of transport. Glucose is a [ Select ] ["protein", "nucleotide", "amino acid", "carbohyrate", "nucleic acid", "simple sugar"] monomer, and, therefore, is very hydrophilic. If a cell had a high concentration of glucose inside of it but needed more glucose inside (such as when a cell is making glycogen) then it can use [ Select ] ["secondary active transport", "exocytosis", "pinocytosis", "simple diffusion", "primary active transport", "facilitated diffusion"] in order to transport more glucose inside. If another cell had a high concentration of the amino acid alanine outside of it (and a low concentration of alanine inside of it) that that cell could transport alanine inside of the cell using [ Select ] ["primary active transport", "secondary active transport", "facilitated diffusion", "simple diffusion", "phagocytosis", "exocytosis"] .

simple diffusion, smooth ER, exocytosis, facilitated diffusion, primary active transport, simple sugar, secondary active transport, facilitated diffusion

Cell Signaling is how cells talk to themselves and how they talk with other cells! Step 1 of cell signaling is the [ Select ] ["cardiac", "source", "lymphatic", "target"] cell produces the signaling molecule. The molecule that the signal binds with is the receptor which is step 2; this structure is located on or in the target cell. Step 3 is [ Select ] ["transduction", "transcription", "translation", "termination"] which is a multi-step, intracellular, mechanism that usually uses small, mobile chemicals called second messengers. These small, mobile, intracellular chemicals include cAMP, cGMP, IP3, DAG and Ca+2. The fourth step of cell signaling is Response. Cellular responses can fall into 1, 2 or all 3 of the following categories: Change in membrane potential (battery charge - open/close ion channels), [ Select ] ["Change the mechanism of mitosis (grow faster or slower)", "Change in gene expression (turn on/off a gene)", "Change the type of cell it is (change the membrane characteristics)", "Change the way the cell signals the other cells (make more or less second messengers)"] , and Change in metabolic rate (use more or less energy). And finally, the last step of the cell signaling cascade is Termination - this step usually begins as a slow negative feedback loop during step 3 as well as happens because the original signaling cell was degraded by a degradation enzyme.

source, transduction, change in gene expression (turn on/off a gene), termination
