Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the most likely fate of animal cells that lack receptors for lacal paracrine signal molecules?
A
unable to grow and divide
B
unable to respond to hormone signals
C
intracellular signal pathways would be blocked
D
would grow and divide normally
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is most likely fate of animal cells that lack receptors for local paracrine signal molecules? They would be unable to grow and divide in response to growth factors from nearby cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: If a target cell lacks receptors for local regulators, the cell will not be able to interact with the hormone.

Detailed explanation-3: -If an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce GTP, what might happen to its signaling system? It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal.

Detailed explanation-4: -In paracrine signaling, a molecule released by one cell acts on neighboring target cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -It wouldn’t be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. Not all intercellular signals require transduction. Which one of the following signals would be processed without transduction? A lipid-soluble signal.
