Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Up-regulation.

Explanation:

Hormones may be defined as the chemical messengers of the body that can transmit information and maintains homeostasis. The hormones can directly go into the bloodstream and may release through the special ducts.

The receptors of the hormone is required for the binding of the receptors. To maintain the normal homeostasis of the body, the body shows the up regulation and down regulation. In up regulation the hormone levels increases in the body by increasing the receptor on the specific target organ.

Thus, the correct answer is up regulation.

Kruka [31]

ANSWERS:

They are both ionic compounds.

These compounds are made up of H^{+} cations (positively-charged ion) and either NO_{3}^- or SO_{4}^{-} anions (negatively-charged ions).

Their names both end in -ic acid.

Acids are named based on their anion. With acids like these where the anion is attached to a hydrogen cation, we name such acids with the the suffix “-ic”.

They both contain polyatomic ionic.

NO_{3}^- and SO_{4}^{-} are both polyatomic ions.

"Poly-" = many

"ions" = have a + or - charge

So, yes, these are ions that are made up of several atoms (not just one atom like H^{+})

Free palmitate is activated to its coenzyme A derivative (palmitoyl-CoA) in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitocho
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are  kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.

Explanation:

  • Fatty acyl group condensed with CoA in the cytosol are first transferred to carnitine and in this process, CoA is released.
  • After this, it is transported into the mitochondrion, where it is again condensed with CoA.
  • In this way, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are kept separate, and due to this reason, no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.
  • Therefore, according to the given question, the C14 CoA that is added into the liver homogenate along with palmitate shows cytosolic radioactive fraction but not mitochondrial as in the mitochondria a different CoA joins palmitate and not the one containing C14.

Inga [223]
Take for example the group of prokaryotes against eukaryotes. They may be similar in a way that they contain cells with organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and many more. But they may differ in the presence of a cell membrane and a nucleus. Eukaryotes have cell walls and a nucleus, while prokaryotes don't have.
