A rapid mechanism is thought to govern the localization of AQP5 in response to changes in extracellular osmolarity. If this mech

anism is independent of both PKA activity and S156 phosphorylation, which of the following will most likely be observed?
(A) HEK cells exposed to the most hypertonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
(C) HEK cells exposed to the most isotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Answer:

(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Explanation:

The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.  

Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.

The rate of heat production is increased by increasing muscle contraction by movement is: Shivering thermogenesis Non- Shivering
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Shivering thermogenesis.

Explanation:

The rate of heat production is increased by increasing muscle contraction by movement is shivering thermogenesis because nerve impulses are transmitted to the skeletal muscles by the hypothalamus which will result to contractions that will produce heat.

Shivering thermogenesis is Contraction-mediated heat production High intensity shivering activates large muscles and produce more glycolysis which is then use as the main source for heat production

The paragraph describes mitochondria and chloroplasts. WHICH sentence in the paragraph provides the strongest evidence for the e
gregori [183]

The answer is; E

This shows that these organelles were once free-living organisms  with their own mechanisms for reproduction which they have retained even after years of symbiotic relationship with the higher organisms. During their duplication, they also replicate their own DNA. Their DNA does not have histones (as opposed to the DNA in the nucleus of their host eukaryotic cell) similar to that of simple organisms such as bacteria.

Structures that are similar in different species show common ancestry
nignag [31]

Answer:

he term “homologous structures” refers specifically to similar structures found in different species that have a common ancestry or developmental origin. Note that homologous structures don’t have to perform the same function in a species, the only requirement is that they are similar in form and exist in species with common ancestry.
