In theory, auxin could increase the rate of proton extrusion by two possible mechanisms:

I) H+-ATPase activation

II) H+-ATPase synthesis

a) Auxin involves in the activation of ATP-driven proton-pump (H+-ATPase) indirectly

b) ABPs appear to be able to activate the plasma membrane H+-ATPase in the presence of auxin

c) Activity of the H+- ATPase is repressed by the C-terminal domain of the enzyme, which can block the catalytic site  in absence of auxin

d) The protein is synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and targeted via the secretory pathway to the plasma membrane

Find out the correct explanation of given mechanisms.

As in all G protein–coupled signalling pathways, timely termination of the rhodopsin signalling pathway requires that all the activated intermediates be inactivated rapidly, restoring the system to its basal state, ready for signalling again. Which of the following mechanism does not terminate rhodopsin signalling?
