Rapid influx of Ca⁺⁺ into the cytoplasm can occur as a result of the binding of hormones to a receptor activating phospholipase C activity. The increased level of Ca⁺⁺ is derived from all of the following EXCEPT: A) lysozymes. B) calciosomes. C) endoplasmic reticulum. D) extracellular stores through Ca⁺⁺ channels in the plasma membrane. E) all of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lysozymes are not involved in the release of Ca⁺⁺ into the cytoplasm. The other options - calciosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and extracellular stores - are all potential sources of Ca⁺⁺ release upon activation of phospholipase C activity.
