In the G protein associated signal cascade system, binding of hormone to a cell surface receptor, like the 7TM (a 7 transmembrane alpha helices) which is a part of G protein. This will activate production of second messengers like cAMP by the enzyme adenylate cyclase. The cAMP in turn binds and activates down stream signal proteins line cAMP dependent protein kinase A (PKA).
Correct Option: A

MTT- binds to succinate dehydrogenase Annexin
V-specifically binds to phosphatidyl serine Methotrexate- allosterically inhibits dihydrofolate reductase
Taxol-suppresses microtubule dynamics.Correct Option: B
