Answer:

Ligand-receptor interaction is the first interaction that triggers cell signalling.

Explanation:

Ligands are the hormones, drugs or neurotransmitters that specifically bind with receptors present in cell surface to initiate cell signalling. Ligand binding to the receptor is reversible. Binding of the ligand to the receptor can activate or inactivate receptor. Activation may lead to cell signalling pathways. Inside cells, there are secondary molecules which on activation starts a cascade of reactions. which in-turn regulate the function of the ligand molecule.

Best Choice:

Ligand-receptor interaction is the first interaction that triggers cell signalling.

Answer:

Explanation :At first, the activated receptor relates with G proteins molecules in the cell.

before the ultimate physiological effect of the ligand on the cell's behavior is produced Therefore, the cellular signaling starts as soon as the first messenger (the ligand) binds to its receptor.

Which of the following hormones is currently thought to decrease plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Calcitonin

Explanation:

Calcitonin hormone is released by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland.   This hormone works against the parathyroid hormone.

Calcitonin hormone regulates the level of calcium by decreasing the blood calcium level. This hormone inhibits the osteoclast activity of the cells and decreases the absorption of calcium in pregnant women and child. Hence, calacitonin decreases plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The word part telo- means "end." how does this word part relate to the meaning of the terms telomere and telophase?
strojnjashka [21]
For telophase it’s the end of mitosis and meiosis. And telomeres are basically caps at the end of your DNA to protect it.

You work for the WWF. Write a letter to the mayor of a small farm town to explain why this town is experiencing erosion, and why
horrorfan [7]

The letter should contain concerns about the causes and ill effects of erosion.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sir,

I am very sad to inform you that the town of Hariharanpur is suffering from continuous erosion for the last 3 years. Even after having proper knowledge about this fact, you being the mayor, are not taking any charge of this situation.

The town is situated just by the side of River Ganges which makes it's soil full of moisture. Along with the repeated deforestation and tree cutting for urbanisation, the smallest of the rain falls are also eroding a lot of soils. This can lead to severe landslides in river Ganges with severe loss of properties as well as loss of lives too.

So i request you to start embanking the river as well as to start planting new trees to save the town from getting lost under Ganges.

Thanking you,

XYZ.

G protein‑coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are two basic receptor types by which cells transduce s
elena-s [515]
<h2>GPCRs,RTKs</h2>

Explanation:

G Protein Coupled Receptors(GPCRs) are more common and found in almost all eukaryotes whereas Receptor Tyrosine Kinases(RTKs) are second largest family of receptors that relay signal from cell surface to the interior

  1. G protein coupled receptors(GPCRs) interacts with the ligand activated GPCR and phosphorylates its intracellular domain.This process of phosphorylation can terminate signal or desensitize receptor
  2. Autophosphorylation of receptor can initiate signal in case of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases(RTKs);Autophosphorylation is a feature of RTKs in which receptor dimerization activates intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity by which they phosphorylate its own tyrosine residue on cytosolic phase
  3. Seven transmembrane helices can be seen in case of G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs);transmembrane protein of it consists of single polypeptide and spans the membrane 7 times
  4. Insulin receptor is a part of Insulin Signalling which comes under RTKs;Insulin receptor always exist in case of dimeric form
  5. Epinephrine receptor is an example of GPCRs;Epinephrine is an endocrine hormones produced in stress condition
  6. Transmembrane protein of GPCR activates G protein,activated G protein binds with effector enzyme and activate it;effector enzyme further can produce or destroy secondary messenger
