BCH4024 OC Sp25 E2 Q41: Common genetic causes of severe adult obesity are loss-of-function mutations in the melanocortin signaling pathway. One effect of these mutations is aberrantly low levels of activated protein kinase A (PKA) in certain cells of the hypothalamus. What type of mutation would most likely produce low levels of activated PKA?

BCH4024 OC Sp25 E2 Q31: Glycolipids form a cell structure that is known as the glycocalyx, which is important in cell-cell adhesion and recognition, signaling, cell migration, immune response, and wound healing. Glycolipids display which of the following on the surface of the cell?

BCH4024 OC Sp25 E2 Q47: Binding of insulin to the insulin receptor leads to the activation of several signaling pathways. In the pathway where insulin acts as a growth factor to stimulate gene transcription, how is Ras activated?
