How are proteins targeted to various compartments with in a eukaryotic cell? Please give a detailed illustration of how a protein is targeted to the specific organelle.
Explain how does an integral membrane glycoprotein travel from ER to the Golgi and from the Golgi to the plasma membrane? Describe the modification which goes on to this protein?
The addition of oligomycin to mitochondria markedly reduced both the rate of electron transfer from NADH to oxygen and the rate of ATP formation.
Nigericin is an ionosphere which exchanges K+ for H+ across membranes. Describe how the treatment of functioning mitochondria with nigericin uncouples electron transport form oxidative phosphorylati
Several chemicals block ATP synthesis by permitting protons and other ions to "leak across membranes," disrupting the charge and protein gradients established by the electron flow via an electron tr
Is the production of water by the electron transport chain catalyzed by the cytochrome oxidase, ubiquinone, cytochrome c, cytochrome b or complex I?
Compare and contrast the divisions of the autonomic nervous system's effect on the heart rate and stroke volume.
Please give some information regarding the relationships between the intra-cellular compartments included in the secretory and endocytic pathways, as well please differentiate between co-translation
In several countries, human waste is employed as a fertilizer. If produce is grown in this kind of fertilizer, it is possible that it will be contaminated with the protozoan which causes amoebic dys
What will occur to the volume of the cells as a consequence? Explain why is proper hydration significant for multi-cellular organisms?
Start by distinguishing between the osmosis and diffusion; how are they alike? In what manners are they different?
A perfume company wishes to dispense 13.9 quarts of a new fragrance into the small vials. Determine how many 25 ml vials can they fill?
The major difficulty in investigating the properties of pancreatic serine proteases is that these enzymes, being proteins, are self digesting. The problem is less rigorous for solutions of chymotry
How many different possible disaccharides can be made between the pyranose forms of D-galactose and D-glucose? Explain how many are non-reducing?
Describe the feasibility of using methylation analysis to differentiate between each of the given pairs of carbohydrates: A) Maltose and Trehalose B) Maltose and Amylose C) Amylose and Cellulose
In order to find out the main pathway of glycine degradation, you devise an experiment in which mice are fed 13C (alpha)-labeled glycine, and the livers are then isolated and radioactive intermediat
Estimate the amount of energy a mammal can get from the oxidation of palmitate, in the liver beneath conditions of ketosis, relative to the amount obtainable under conditions of a balanced diet with
Explain how does the structure of the mitochondria relate to its function? As a biker pumps up a hill to the finish line his leg muscles start to feel fatigue. Explain the processes at work to make h
Illustrate the difference between and exergonic and endergonic reaction? Explain why do environmentalists claim that a raise in forests, that is, rainforests, will slow down the effects of the global
Explain why can't triglycerols (fats) be important components of membranes? When bacteria growing at 20 degree Celsius are warmed to 30 degree Celsius, are they more probable to synthesize the membra
A bacterium is in the method of acclimating to a lower temperature environment. Explain how would you expect the fatty acid complement in the bacterial membrane to change in response to the lower te
Explain why do signaling responses that need changes in proteins already present in the cell take place in milliseconds to seconds, while responses which involve changes in gene expression generally
The signaling mechanisms employed by a steroid-hormone receptor and by an ion channel linked receptor have very few components. Can either mechanism lead to the amplification of the initial signal?
Since oxygen is not a reactant or a product in the citric acid cycle, explain why do low levels of oxygen reduce the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?
The disease beriberi that results from a dietary deficiency of vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is characterized by the neurological and cardiac symptoms, and also raised the levels of pyruvate and alpha- keto
