AP Bio Ch. 11 Study Guide Interactive Study Questions

True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

Interactive Question 11.8 A
The basic mechanism for programmed cell death evolved early in the evolution of eukaryotes.
 

 2. 

Interactive Question 11.8 B
Programmed cell death in humans is important in the normal development of the nervous system, fingers, and toes; for normal functioning of the immune system; and to prevent the development of cancerous cells (by the internal triggering of apoptosis in cells with DNA damage).
 

Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
 

 3. 

Interactive Question 11.1
How do plant hormones travel between secreting cells and target cells?
Which is not a way plant hormones travel?
a.
by traveling through vessels
b.
by traveling between cells via plasmodesmata
c.
traveling through the air as a gas
d.
by traveling between cells through gap junctions
 

Matching
 
 
Interactive Question 11.3
Match the name to the labeled picture.
a.
phosphates
e.
cellular responses
b.
activated relay proteins
f.
signaling molecules (ligands)
c.
alpha helix in the membrane
g.
6 ATP --> 6 ADP
d.
tyrosines

Interactive Question 11.4
a.
a series of protein kinase relay molecules that sequentially phosphorylate the next kinase in the pathway
b.
transfers a phosphate group from ATP to a protein; adding a charged phosphate group causes a shape change that usually activates the protein
c.
an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from a protein, usually inactivating the protein. Protein phosphatases effectively shut down signaling pathways when the initial signal is no longer present
 

 11. 

Question A. What does a protein kinase do?
 

 12. 

Question B. What does a protein phosphatase do?
 

 13. 

Question C. What is a “phosphorylation cascade?”
 
 
Interactive Question 11.5
Label the components in the following diagram depicting the steps in a signal transduction pathway that uses cAMP as a second messenger.
a.
activated G protein (GTP bound)
b.
cAMP (second messenger)
c.
phosphorylation cascade to cellular response
d.
G-protein coupled receptor
e.
adenylyl cyclase
f.
protein kinase A
g.
signaling molecule (first messenger)
h.
ATP

Interactive Question 11.7
How does each of the following inactivation mechanisms discontinue a cell’s response to a signal and maintain the cell’s ability to respond to freash signals?
a.
Activated G proteins are inactivated when the GTPase portion of the protein converts GTP to GDP
b.
Converts cAMP to AMP, thus damping out this second messenger
c.
When they leave a receptor, the receptor reverts to its inactive form. The concentration of signaling molecules influences how many are bound at one time, with a threshold number of receptors with bound molecules required for the response to occur.
d.
Remove phosphate groups from activated proteins. The balance of activate protein kinases and active phosphatases regulates the activity of many proteins.
 

 28. 

reversible binding of signaling molecules
 

 29. 

GTPase activity of G protein
 

 30. 

phosphodiesterase
 

 31. 

protein phosphatases
