- Catecholamines like dopamine activate neurons by ...
A. inhibition of calcium channels.
B. increased Ca2+ influx into the target cell.
C. inhibition of specialized GABA receptors.
D. increased production of signal transduction chemicals like cyclic AMP.
Homework Answers
Catecholamines are naturally occurring amines which function as neurotransmitter and hormones. They include adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine. All these function by increasing the production of signal transduction chemicals like cAMP. Adenyly cyclase converts ATP into cAMP. CAMp causes increased heart rate, breakdown of glycogen to glucose and vasodilation.
So option D is correct.

How is calmodulin activated? A. by binding both calcium and potassium B. by binding Ca2+ when the cytosolic concentration is greater than 500 nM C. by binding to a positively charged helix on another protein D. by binding Ca2+ only when calcium channels are open, allowing Ca2+ efflux from the cell E. None of the answers is correct.
