Explanation / Answer

(1)The fact that signal transduction mechanisms often have several steps allows the signal to be under control and these multiple steps provide greater possible amplification of a signal. .

The several steps in signal transduction mechanism allow the cascade to amplify, inhibit and fine tune the responses so that response will not go out of the control.

(2)The type of receptor which binds to G-proteins is called G-protein linked receptors

The G-protein linked receptors found on the cell surface receptor and are involved in mediating the responses to various signal molecules (hormones, neurotransmitters etc).

(3)In the epinephrine receptor, activated G-protein activates which enzyme adenylate cyclase

When epinephrine binds to the receptor in the plams membrane, which causes the activation of G protein which inturn activates the enzyme adenylate cyclase.

(4)In the epinephrine receptor, cyclic AMP activates which enzyme protein kinase A

The produced cAMP acts as a signaling molecule and which goes and binds to the protein kinase A and activates it.

(5)Cyclic AMP is inactivates by which enzyme phosphodiesterase.

Phosphodiesterase converts the cAMP to adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

(6)Which other two second messengers are often associated with IP3? diacylglycerol (DAG); calcium ions (Ca2+)

(7)In the IP3 pathway, the protein kinase which activated is protein kinase protein kinase C
