AP Biology – Kittay Name_________________________________ Unit 5 Test –Cellular Energetics “MUST KNOWS”: CHAPTER 11 – Cell Communication Concept 11.1 – External signals are converted to responses within a cell. Concept 11.2 – Reception: A signaling molecule binds to a receptor protein, causing it to change shape. Concept 11.3 – Transduction: Cascades of molecular interactions relay signals from receptors to target molecules in the cell. Concept 11.4 – Response: Cell signaling leads to regulation of transcription or cytoplasmic activities. Concept 11.5 – Apoptosis integrates multiple cell-­‐signaling pathways. CHAPTER 12 – Mitosis and the Cell Cycle Concept 12.1 – Most cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells. Concept 12.2 – The mitotic phase alternates with interphase in the cell cycle. Concept 12.3 – The eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by a molecular control system.
