(Steroids example)
What is an example of a nuclear receptor being used? - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > T3/T4 enters the nucleus through a NPC
Binds onto DNA being processed in the nucleus
,Describe the process of the enzyme linked receptor Tyrosine Kinase -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Ligand binding triggers receptor dimerization
Describe passive transport and whether it is atp dependent or
independent - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Also called diffusion
Lipophilic molecules cross through phospholipid bilayer from area of
high concentration to an area of low concentration
ATP independent
Describe facilitated diffusion and whether it is ATP dependent or
independent - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Hydrophilic and large ions
that cannot freely diffuse across the bilayer are passively transported
using transmembrane integral carrier or channel proteins
ATP independent
