Select the Statement That Correctly Outlines the Synthesis Process of Prostaglandins

question 2

Multiple Choice

Select the statement that correctly outlines the synthesis process of prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

• A) During inflammation, phospholipase A stimulates the release of arachidonic acid from the cell membrane. Cyclooxygenase converts arachidonic acid into several different prostaglandins. At the same time, lipoxygenase converts arachidonic acid into the leukotrienes.
• B) During inflammation, phospholipase A stimulates the release of arachidonic acid from the cell membrane. Lipoxygenase converts arachidonic acid into several different prostaglandins. At the same time, cyclooxygenase converts arachidonic acid into the leukotrienes.
• C) During inflammation, phospholipase A stimulates the release of arachidonic acid from the cell membrane. Cyclooxygenase converts arachidonic acid into several different prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
• D) During inflammation, phospholipase A stimulates the release of arachidonic acid from the cell membrane. Lipoxygenase converts arachidonic acid into several different prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Definitions:

Chi-square Statistic

A statistical test used to compare observed data with data we would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis.

Significance Level

A threshold in hypothesis testing that determines the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true, often denoted by alpha (α).

Null Hypothesis

A hypothesis that suggests no statistical significance exists in a set of given observations, representing a default position to be tested against.

Probability Distributions

A function in mathematics that characterizes the probability of achieving any given value that a random variable might take on.
