Cells can regulate the cellular response to a transducer by all of the following except
A) decreasing the extracellular concentration of calcium.
B) inhibiting phosphodiesterase.
C) increasing the rate of nitric oxide synthesis.
D) synthesizing adenylyl cyclase.
E) increasing the concentration of cAMP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreasing the extracellular concentration of calcium does not directly regulate the cellular response to a transducer. Cellular responses are typically regulated by intracellular signaling mechanisms such as inhibiting phosphodiesterase, increasing nitric oxide synthesis, synthesizing adenylyl cyclase, or increasing the concentration of cAMP, which affect the intracellular signaling pathways rather than by altering extracellular ion concentrations.
