Reception

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:23:15 UTC

process by which a cell detects a signal in the environment

Transduction

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:24:05 UTC

activates proteins inside the cell from the cell membrane

Response

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:24:33 UTC

behavior changes occur in the cell as a result of the signal

Distance

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:27:00 UTC

The signal does not have to travel far during local because the cells are next to each other, where as long distance the cells are further apart.

Transformation

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:29:53 UTC

In long distance the signal goes through transformation, but in local the signal only has the one type.

Machinery of Receptors

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:35:06 UTC

Some signals may cause different responses due to the inside of the machinery of the receptors.

Tyrosine-Kinase Receptor

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:43:37 UTC

TKRs are good at triggering several pathways because of the proteins that bond to it to help

Ligand

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:45:43 UTC

a molecule that bonds to a receptor

Transduction

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:47:08 UTC

A messenger binds to a receptor

Phosphorylation Cascade

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:49:07 UTC

A sequence of signaling pathways where enzymes cause a chain reaction leading to proteins

Explaination

awomick470 — 2024-01-29 19:54:49 UTC

Type II diabetes is a condition where a person's body cannot regulate or use sugar as fuel. It is believed that the insulin binds to the receptor, as normally, but the signal is not sent to the cells. This can cause high blood glucose levels, which can eventualy become harmful and cause organ damage.
