Q.1
Which of the following would be an example of paracrine signaling in animals?
neurotransmitter acetylcholine
hormone epinephrine
neurotransmitter norepinephrine
growth factor
Q.2
For cells to stay alive they require what type of SA:V?
Large SA, Large V
Small SA, Large V
Large SA, Small V
Small SA, Small V
Q.3
Which of the following is not a step in cell signaling?
reception
transduction
response
transport
Q.4
When epinephrine binds to cardiac (heart) muscle cells, it speeds their contraction. When it binds to muscle cells of the small intestine, it inhibits their contraction. Which of the following best accounts for the fact that the same hormone can have different effects on muscle cells?
Cardiac cells have more receptors for epinephrine than do intestinal cells
Epinephrine circulates to the heart first and thus is in higher concentration around cardiac cells
The two types of muscle cells have different signal transduction pathways for epinephrine and thus have different cellular responses
Cardiac muscle is stronger than intestinal muscle and thus has a stronger response to epinephrine
Q.5
All of the following statements about ligand-receptor complexes are true EXCEPT
A. Most receptors exhibit ligand specificity.
Ligand–receptor interactions are reversible
Ligand–receptor interactions are reversible
Ligand-receptor complexes are most often formed in cell communication pathways in which participating cells are in direct contact
Q.6
The 3 steps of signal transduction in order are
reception, transduction, response
response, transduction, reception
reception, response, transduction

Q.9
What is a G protein?
specific type of membrane-receptor protein
protein on the cytoplasmic side of a membrane
