Professor Foxx is lecturing on the function of metabotropic receptors. She draws a flowchart (diagram illustrating a sequence of events) to demonstrate the function of these receptors. Which is the correct order displayed on the flowchart? i. metabotropic receptor
ii. second messenger
iii. effector enzyme
iv. substrate protein
v. G protein
vi. protein kinase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order for the function of metabotropic receptors is: metabotropic receptor (i), G protein (v), effector enzyme (iii), second messenger (ii), protein kinase (vi), and substrate protein (iv). This sequence illustrates how the activation of a metabotropic receptor by a ligand leads to the activation of a G protein, which then activates an effector enzyme. This enzyme produces second messengers that activate protein kinases, which in turn phosphorylate substrate proteins, leading to a cellular response.
