1. Poison Arrow Frog
EXAMPLE

2. Explanation of Entity More than 100 species
Skin contains the frog’s poison(National Geographic, 2013)
Frogs gain poison from diet
Has the word “arrow” in its name because its poison is used on tips of arrows to quickly kill animals
Uses aposematic coloration to warn predators
Live in rainforests of Central and South America
Has enough poison to kill 20,000 mice (National Geographic 2013)
One drop of its poison can cause a human heart to stop beating

3. Connection of Poison Arrow Frog to Signaling
picture is a screenshot of the “pathway graphic” video
The normal pathway ligand is acetylcholine (Batrachotoxin alkaloids from passerine birds 2000)
The altered pathway ligand is Batrachotoxin

4. Transduction Fast response vs slow response (Science Superscore, 2010)
Fast response vs slow response (Science Superscore, 2010)
Fast doesn’t involve any transduction, neurotransmitter binds directly to ion channel.
Slow involves a normal transduction to eventually open the ion channel. ,
