I resat the exam 4 times to make this so you don't have to!
These are all questions I have seen in multiple exams of BBS2042 Cell Signalling. The answers are included at the end. Good luck!

Real exam questions with answers.
Note: these are real exam questions that I have seen in the 4 times I have tried passing this
exam (lol), they are all multiple choice or short answer open questions. Keep in mind that
the open-ended questions require a short answer of only 1 or 2 words.

8. The Ah-receptor us involved in detoxicifcation of xenobiotic chemicals. Give the right
order of the dioxin detoxification steps mediated by Ah-R. Choose the correct order
from the options below.
A)

E)
Choose from: translocation of AhR complex to the nucleus, AhR-ARNT heterodimer
formation, binding dioxin responding elements (DRE), AhR nuclear translocator
(ARNT) mediated HSP90 displacement, dioxine binds to the AhR.
