Cell Communication and Signaling starts at 10 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Cell Communication and Signaling. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A patient has a mutation that prevents their cells from producing insulin receptors. What effect would this have on their cells' ability to respond to insulin?
A scientist observes that a cell responds to a signal only when a certain protein is present on its surface. What is this protein likely to be?
Describe the role of feedback mechanisms in cell signaling.
Describe the role of protein kinases in signal transduction pathways.
Describe the three main stages of cell signaling.
Describe what happens during the reception stage of cell signaling.
Explain the difference between local and long-distance signaling.
Explain why only certain cells respond to a particular hormone.
Explain why signal amplification is important in cell signaling.
What is the main function of a receptor protein in cell signaling?
