The following is an explanation of the sequence for  __________________________-. 1) Hormone or neurotransmitter binds to receptor.2) Receptor activates G protein. 3) G protein activates (or inhibits) adenylate cyclase.4) Adenylate cyclase catalyzes production of cAMP from ATP.5) cAMP activates a protein kinase.6) The kinase activates or inactivates enzymes.7) The appropriate cellular occurs in response to the hormone or neurotransmitter.

An example of ________________ is the glucose transporter (GLUT) found in erythrocytes (referred to as GLUT1 to separate from other mammalian glucose transporters.)  This allows glucose to enter the cell via facilitated diffusion and it does so at approximately 50,000 times the rate that it would via simple diffusion.
