The substance that strengthens and waterproofs cell walls is?
The chemical that waterproofs a cell wall is called lignin. Lignin is also the second-most abundant organic complex polymer on Earth.
What is the link between a first messenger and a second messenger in a cell that responds to peptide hormones?
g protein
Why do protein hormones need second messenger to activate target cell?
Protein hormones that need second messenger to activate a target cell are hydrophobic. They therefore need these second messengers in order to penetrate into the cell membrane. steroid hormones are hydrophilic so they do not need second messengers.
Does direct gene activation involve a second-messenger system?
No, it diffused throught the membrane.
What type of hormone characteristically requires a second messenger?
First messengers may not physically cross the phospholipid bilayer cell membrane to initiate changes within the cell directly and so require a secondary messenger. Second messengers may be coupled downstream to multi-cyclic kinase cascades to greatly amplify the strength of the original first messenger signal.Calcium ions are one type of second messengers and are responsible for many important physiological functions including muscle contraction, fertilization and neurotransmitter release.cAMP is also a second messenger.First messengers may not physically cross the phospholipid bilayer cell membrane to initiate changes within the cell directly and so require a secondary messenger.
What was the second NASA mission to Mercury called?
"Messenger".
What are two ways in which the chemical message of a hormone is converted into a cell response inside the cell?
The chemical message is converted via the second messenger system
What is a molecule that is generated when a specific substance attaches to a receptor on the outside of a cell membrane which produces a change in cellular function?
Second messengerSecond Messenger
The substance that strengthens and waterproofs cell walls is?
The chemical that waterproofs a cell wall is called lignin. Lignin is also the second-most abundant organic complex polymer on Earth.
What are the five clues that suggests a chemical reaction is taking place?
first when there's a physical change in the substance second there will be a solution or a formula to that substance third is, it involves temperature fourth is change in color of the substance fifth is the bubbling of another substance is yet an another clue that a chemical reaction has occured.
What does a second messenger always do?
read it:)
Cellular responses to hormones that initiate second-messenger systems include?
Possible activation of several different second messenger systems.
What can the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation always express the ratio of?
Moles of one substance compared to moles of the second substance. Ex. moles of reactant A compared to moles pf product F
Which class of molecules functions are chemical signals?
peptides(poly),gases,neurotransmitters,neuropeptides,steroid hormones ...etc.
What is a biological messenger?
Biological messengers are molecules thatÊtransmit information about cells to the receptor. They are also called neurotransmitters, first messengers, or second messengers.
Difference between lipid soluble and water soluble?
The use of a second messenger
What is the link between a first messenger and a second messenger in a cell that responds to peptide hormones?
g protein
