Cell Signalling and Transduction – Section 1

21. A cell is known to respond to a particular signaling molecule. Which of the following must be true of this cell?

A. It is in the heart muscle
B. It is also the site of production for the signaling molecule
C. It contains the receptor for the signaling molecule
D. It is incapable of signal transduction

Correct Answer: C. It contains the receptor for the signaling molecule

22. The enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of PIP2 into two molecules of inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol in cell signaling, is

A. phosphokinase C
B. phospholipase C
C. phosphodiesterase C
D. lipokinase

Correct Answer: B. phospholipase C

23. The binding of ligands to many G-proteins linked receptors leads to shortlived
