regulate homeostatic mechanisms e.g., blood pressure and
energy metabolism.
Which of the following best describes calcium's role as a second
messenger?
1. It activates protein kinase A.
2. It activates protein kinase C.
3. It binds to proteins to change their shape and function.

4. All of the above.
It binds to proteins to change their shape and function.
True or False. If false, explain why it is false.
A ligand can bind to any cell in the body as long as the receptor

False. Ligands have specific receptors they must bind to.
If there was no specificity, the ligands would be binding to every

throughout the whole body.
Which of the following is/are true of RTKs? (Select all that

- They transfer a phosphate group to the amino acid tyrosine on
a target protein.
-None of the above are true.
-They are a family of enzyme-linked receptors molecules.
-They transfer a phosphate group to the amino acid tyrosine on a
target protein.
Explain the relationship between cancer development and
apoptosis.
Cells that undergo apoptosis typically have something wrong
with them. This process helps to maintain normal cell
functioning and growth. When cells resist apoptosis and
continue to divide, cancer can often develop.
