Connective tissues are the tissues that are responsible to connect, support, bind, or to separate out other tissues or organs,that have relatively few cells embedded in an amorphous matrix, often with collagen or other fibers, that includes cartilaginous, fatty, and elastic tissues. Cartilaginous tissues are responsible for the firm, rubbery matrix that provides flexibility. These tissues give shape to the external ear, the larynx (voice box) which is the most easily palpated cartilages in the body, and to the tip of the nose.

What technique is used by all three branches of science to make discoveries

Brut [27]

Experimenting. Experimenting is used in all three main branches of science, physics, chemistry, and biology, and is used in all the sub-branches of science, like marine biology, to make discoveries. Without experimenting, all we know about science would be random guesses.

Which statement regarding Bax and Bak, two members of the Bcl-2 family, is true?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Option D When activated, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the outer membrane of mitochondria, leading to the release of cytochrome c.

Explanation:

The proapoptotic genes are involved in the process of apoptosis. The antiapoptotic gene prevents apoptosis that is cell death. The proapoptotic genes are bax, bak, bad and bid. The bcl family genes are antiapoptotic genes. The process involved activation of apoptosis inside the cell is called intrinsic pathway of apoptosis.

The activation proapoptotic genes, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the mitochondria outer membrane. These pores in the mitochondrial membrane allows the release of cytochrome-c that further attaches with Apaf-1. This leads to activation of caspase 9 that further activates caspase 3, thus inducing apoptosis.
