Questions and Answers

The first step in a signaling pathway that responds to a molecule that stays in the extracellular space is

  • binding of the signal molecule to a receptor. (correct)
  • diffusion through the plasma membrane into the cell.
  • activation of gene expression.
  • phosphorylation and activation of the receptor protein.
  • What type of cell response would take the longest amount of time (on the scale of minutes to hours) to execute?

  • one that involves the release of secretory vesicles
  • one that involves a change in gene expression (correct)
  • one that involves the firing of an action potential along a neuron
  • one that uses a phosphorylation event to activate an enzyme
  • Which of the following is NOT an intracellular signaling protein activated by an RTK?

  • Ras
  • monomeric GTPase
