BCH4024 OC Sp25 E2 Q29: Iodine (I-) is required by the thyroid follicular cells for biosynthesis of thyroid hormones. The Na+I- symporter uses a gradient of Na+ to import I- into these cells. What type of transport is this?

BCH4024 OC Sp25 E2 Q50: What role would an adaptor protein play in a receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway? 

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?
