BIOD 101 PORTAGE LEARNING MODULE 5 EXAM WITH  SATISFIED SOLUTIONS What occurs in Paracrine Signaling? - Cells will release vesicles  containing signaling ligand that will attach to nearby target cells. What type of signaling is paracrine signaling? - Local Range  Signaling Where does paracrine signaling occur? - Many different types of  cells and tissues What is paracrine signaling important for? - Development and  releasing of growth factors What occurs in Synaptic Signaling? -...

Describe endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine signaling. correct answers Endocrine: An endocrine cell releases a hormone into the blood stream to target a receptor on the target cell. Paracrine: A signaling cell releases a local mediator to target cells (neighboring cells). Autocrine: A cell releases a chemical signal to target itself. How does a hormone that is released generally throughout the body end up having different effects on (or no effects on) different cells? correct answers H...

Problem with autocrine Correct Answer mutations in cells that cause proliferation (cancer) can use autocrine signalling to speed up proliferation. Use autocrine growth factors and has no down regulation Difference b/w autocrine and juxtacrine Correct Answer same cell vs neighbouring cell Both have 2 step process Agonist vs antagonist examples Correct Answer Cortisol -> agonist effect on mineralocorticoid to maintain ion and water balance Spironalactone -> Antagonist prevention o...

(*Molecular Biology) pI (Isoelectric point) of an amino acid correct answers The pH at which an amino acid carries no electrical charge (average of the pKa's of the carboxyl and amino group) (*Genetics) Silent Mutations correct answers Mutations that do not change the amino acid sequence (*Molecular Biology) When are Amino aci...

A&P 102 IVY TECH FINAL EXAM 2024 WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS Who regulates pituitary gland secretion? - correct answer hypothalamus What is a hormone and how does it act? - correct answer Hormones are chemical messengers that are responsible for regulation. They are secreted into body fluids, mainly blood. It has specific actions on target tissues, which are any tissue that has specific receptors for that particular hormone. Compare and contrast glucagon and insulin. - correct answer Gl...
