Chapter 9: Useful Materials

This video is an overview of the pathway of signal transduction. Signal transduction pathway is a group of proteins that convert an initial signal to a different signal inside a cell. He explains how signal transduction pathways are used by cells to convert chemical messages to cellular action. Epinephrine is used as a sample messenger to trigger the release of glucose from cells in the liver. The G-Protein, adenylyl cyclase, cAMP, and protein kinases are all used as illustrative examples of signal transduction. He also gives several examples that help you better understand these concepts. Overall, I thought this video was very helpful and was a quick and easy way to help me study!

As I have shared before, Quizlet is a website where you can make flashcards to help you study. I love this website because it really helps when it comes to knowing important terms or definitions. Another thing I like about Quizlet is that you can print out these flashcards to study on the go! You can also quiz yourself and create your own useful flashcards.
