Explanation

Question 11 of 30

1

A competitive antagonist is a substance that:

Select one of the following:

  • Binds to the same receptor site and progressively inhibits the agonist response

  • Binds to the nonspecific sites of tissue

  • Binds to one receptor subtype as an agonist and to another as an antagonist

Explanation

Question 12 of 30

1

The substance binding to one receptor subtype as an agonist and to another as an antagonist is called:

Select one of the following:

  • Competitive antagonist

  • Irreversible antagonist

  • Agonist-antagonist

  • Partial agonist

Explanation

Question 13 of 30

1

  • Covalent bonds

  • All answers are correct

Explanation

Question 14 of 30

1

Mechanisms of transmembrane signaling are the following EXCEPT:

Select one of the following:

  • Transmembrane receptors that bind and stimulate a protein tyrosine kinase

  • Gene replacement by the introduction of a therapeutic gene to correct a genetic effect

  • Ligand-gated ion channels that can be induced to open or close by binding a ligand

  • Transmembrane receptor protein that stimulates a GTP-binding signal transducer protein (G-protein) which in turn generates an intracellular second messenger

Explanation

Select one of the following:

  • Adenylyl cyclase
