Chapter 9: Q. 35 (page 252)

Why is signaling in multicellular organisms more complicated than signaling in single-celled organisms?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Single-celled organisms must be bothered regarding their natural neighborhood and also the presence of various cells in the proximity, which is not the case for multicellular organisms.

Step by step solution

01

Step. 1 Introduction

Multicellular organisms are those which are composed of cells from more than just one cell, having differentiated groups of cells performing specialized functions. Unicellular organisms are those which are composed of one cell only which performs each of the organism's tasks.

02

Step. 2 Explanation

Multicellular organisms have to coordinate many distinct actions in several cell types that may be extremely far apart. Single-celled organisms are solely interested in their immediate surroundings and the existence of additional cells in the vicinity.

If a cell developed a mutation in its MAP2K1 gene (encodes the MEK protein) that prevented MEK from being recognized by phosphatases, how would the EGFR signaling cascade and the cell鈥檚 behavior change?

A scientist notices that when she adds a small, water soluble molecule to a dish of cells, the cells turn off transcription of a gene. She hypothesizes that the ligand she added binds to a(n) ______ receptor.

a. Intracellular

b. Hormone

c. Enzyme-linked

d. Gated ion channel-linked

A doctor is researching new ways to treat biofilms on artificial joints. Which approach would best help prevent bacterial colonization of the medical implants?

a. Increase antibiotic dosing

b. Create implants with rougher surfaces

c. Vaccinate patients against all pathogenic bacteria

d. Inhibit quorum sensing

How does NF-魏B induce gene expression?

a. A small, hydrophobic ligand binds to NF-魏B, activating it.

b. Phosphorylation of the inhibitor I魏-B dissociates the complex between it and NF-魏B, and allows NF- 魏B to enter the nucleus and stimulate transcription.

c. NF-魏B is phosphorylated and is then free to enter the nucleus and bind DNA.

d. NF-魏B is a kinase that phosphorylates a transcription factor that binds DNA and promotes protein production.

Cells grown in the laboratory are mixed with a dye molecule that is unable to pass through the plasma membrane. If a ligand is added to the cells, observations show that the dye enters the cells. What type of receptor did the ligand bind to on the cell surface?
