三、問答題 1. 多細胞生物體內,包括但不僅止於內分泌與神經細胞,藉由釋出訊息分子協調不同的器官、組織與細胞的功能,以應對體內、外環境變化。請說明在體內眾多的細胞種類中,訊息分子如何達到僅在其標的細胞(target cell)中引起反應的效果?同一種訊息分子常常在不同種類的標的細胞中誘發不同的生理反應,請解釋此現象的可能原因;請舉一實例,說明哪一種訊息分子,可以在哪兩種細胞中分別引起哪兩種不同的反應。
2. 真核細胞有三種細胞骨架(cytoskeleton)結構,其組成與特性雖然各不相同,但是細胞藉由精巧的控制這些構造完成許多複雜的生理作用。以動物細胞的有絲分裂(mitosis)為例,請說明細胞分裂後期(anaphase)階段,複製後的染色體(sister chromatids)如何經由細胞骨架分離至細胞兩側;在細胞質分裂(cytokinesis)時期,細胞骨架又如何促成細胞分割成兩個獨立的子細胞。
