Question
Membrane blebbing and DNA fragmentation are diagnostic characteristics of this process. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this process in which the release of cytochrome C or binding of the fas ligand causes a cell to undergo programmed cell death.
ANSWER: apoptosis [prompt on programmed cell death until read]
[10m] The 8th and 9th of these cysteine proteases link the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of apoptosis together. These enzymes are recruited by CARD domains to act as “initiators” or “executioners.”
ANSWER: caspases [accept caspase 8 or caspase 9]
[10h] Unlike apoptosis, this form of cell death is triggered by breakdown of glutamine transport into the cell. Unrepaired damage to phospholipids leads to the formation of lipid peroxides that trigger this process.
ANSWER: ferroptosis [prompt on iron-dependent cell death or equivalent answers mentioning iron]
