The cellular response to the second messenger is a mutation that affects ca++ binding to calmodulin and is most likely to interfere with what aspect of a signal transduction pathway.

<h3>Ca++ binding to calmodulin :</h3>

This protein-protein interaction ultimately has a physiological consequence; for instance, in smooth muscle, Ca2+ binding to calmodulin causes it to connect with and activate myosin light chain kinase, which in turn catalyzes the phosphorylation of myosin. The smooth muscle contracts as a result of this reaction.

A common, tiny (148 amino acids) calcium signaling protein called calmodulin (CaM) controls the actions of numerous cellular proteins. It has two calcium-binding sites in the N-domain (I and II) and two more in the C-domain (III and IV).

In order for smooth muscle to contract, calmodulin is crucial for excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and the start of the cross-bridge cycling in smooth muscle. The head of the myosin light chain must be phosphorylated to initiate smooth muscle contraction.

Why does the liver have a hepatic portal vein and a hepatic vein?
gregori [183]

Answer:

The liver have a hepatic portal vein and a hepatic vein for blood flow and transport of nutrients.

Explanation:

Hepatic portal vein is also known as portal vein that carries blood from the organs (gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and gallbladder) to the liver. The nutrients are also transfer by the hepatic portal vein.

Hepatic vein: This vein carry deoxygenated blood into the inferior vena cava from the liver. Total three hepatic veins brings deoxygenated blood from right, left and middle part of liver.

Approximately how far apart were north america and europe 200,000 years ago
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is - 1,180 km.

North America and Europe move away from one another, though on the other end of the plates, the Eurasian and the North American plates are actually merging. Since the rate of moving away is 2 cm per year, and the current distance is 1,184 km between North America and Europe, the distance between them 200,000 years ago was 1,180 km.

To get to the result we only need to multiply the number of years with the annual movement

2 x 200,000 = 400,000

Then divide the result with 100,000, as that is how much cm are in one km

400,000 / 100,000 = 4

And we get 4 km, in this case 4 km less, thus the distance between the two, 200,000 years ago, was 1,180 km.
