Problem 5: Bacterial Cell Signaling

Correct!

E.coli respond to increased solute concentrations by phosphorylation of the membrane receptor _______________, which transfers a phosphate to the subcellular second messenger ______________ that initiates transcription of the ___________ gene producing a protein that can prevent solute entry and preserve the osmotic integrity of the cell.

A.	EnvZ, OmpR, OmpF The bacterial system that responds to changes in solute concentrations features many of the mechanisms that characterize multicellular eukaryote signaling systems.
B.	OmpR, EnvZ, OmpF
C.	OmpF, OmpR, EnvZ
D.	OmpR, OmpF, EnvZ
E.	OmpF, EnvZ, OmpR
