A capoeira De origem angolana, a capoeira chega no Brasil no século 16. A capoeira foi usada (was used) no período colonial brasileiro pelos escravos como defesa (defense). Era (it was) uma luta agressiva com golpes mortais. Hoje esta arte marcial é um jogo e uma dança, não uma luta violenta. Este jogo é um elemento de folclore e tradição, principalmente na Bahia. O jogo é acompanhado por vários instrumentos musicais, como o pandeiro, o atabaque, o reco-reco, o chocalho e o berimbau. Os participantes cantam, dançam e jogam capoeira. Os instrumentos acompanham o ritmo da luta, mais lento no início e depois mais rápido. A capoeira é muito importante porque faz parte da cultura do povo brasileiro e, em 2014, a Roda de Capoeira (capoeira circle) recebeu o título de Patrimônio Cultural da Humanidade pela UNESCO. Em outros países muitas pessoas também praticam a capoeira–os brasileiros para ter contato com o seu país e os estrangeiros porque estão interessados na cultura brasileira e africana.

Questions 56-58 refer to the following scenario: You are doing an experiment on a new class of G protein–coupled receptor. You make several cell lines that each express the receptor, the corresponding G protein, and adenylyl cyclase. Each cell line has different mutations in these components. You decide to measure cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the cells of each cell line to understand the effect of each of these mutations. For each of the descriptions of the mutations, indicate whether the amount of cAMP in the cells will increase, decrease, or stay the same compared to cells with no mutations in the signaling pathway. A mutation in the a subunit of the G protein prevents it from binding to adenylyl cyclase but not the receptor. The amount of cAMP in cells will:

Insulin signaling through its receptor kinase enables virtually every cell in our body to transport glucose across the cell membrane into the cytosol. In the next set of questions, select the appropriate event in the cellular response to insulin. After insulin binds to the cell-surface protein, cytoplasmic proteins are phosphorylated. What process occurs when those proteins are dephosphorylated?
