Biology

enot [183]2 years ago
4 0

The repository of bile produced by the liver is one of the gallbladder's top priorities.

Bile is required to break down the body's fats and lipids, making it vital for digestion. In addition, it helps in the metabolism of bilirubin, which is produced when RBCs break down.

The gallbladder serves several essential purposes, including the following:

  • To store and purify bile
  • The ability to empty and restock its bile reserves in response to intestinal hormones like cholecystokinin.
  • To assist in controlling the bile's chemical makeup (the percentage of water, bile salts and more)
  • To regulate the small intestine's bile flow.
  • To contract (secreting bile into the biliary tract and duodenum)

True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases).  This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes  condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.
