Biology

timurjin [86]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct option is C. receptor dimerizaton.

Explanation:

Growth Factors are protein substances found in our blood and play an important role in intercellular communication. These protein substances bind to receptors on the surface of the cell, with the main result of the activation of cell proliferation and / or differentiation.  Many growth factors are very versatile, stimulating cell division in numerous different cell types, while others are specific to a particular cell type.

For the activation of a growth factor, dimerization or oligomerization of the receptor is necessary for kinase activity to occur, triggering intracellular signaling cascades. The dimerization can be between two identical receptors (homodimerization) or between different members of the same family (heterodimerization). The dimerization of the receptor, leads to the activation of its tyrosine kinase and the transphosphorylation of the tyrosine residues, releasing a signal transduction into the cell.

How much oxygen is consumed by fish species
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

This is not generally realized but is vital when designing aeration systems for growing on warm water species. Most research indicates that trout consume around 200 – 250 mg O2/kg/hour. I regularly record carp consuming three times as much at 700- 800 mg/kg/hour under optimal growing conditions.

dangina [55]

Answer:

By dating the rocks in Earth's ever-changing crust, as well as the rocks in Earth's neighbors, such as the moon and visiting meteorites, scientists have calculated that Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.
