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.

Hypothesis: homologous structures are evidence of a common ancestor ?<br><br> Why is this correct ?

Yes, because homologous structures are different structures we have that other different organisms might have. humans and monkeys both have arms, although they are completely different species, this can tell scientists that they could have shared a common ancestor in the past, and may have evolved

Which item would be most appropriate to measure on the triple beam balance in the Gizmo? Select one: 7 Oa. A car b. A baby C. A
lord [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. a pen.

Explanation:

A triple beam balance is an instrument which is a type of lever used to measure the mass of an unknown mass object very precisely. This instrument shows a very small error of ±0.05 grams.

It has a measurement tray on one side of the instrument and a fulcrum on the other side. On the measurement tray, an object with an unknown mass is placed and a set of sliding weights on the fulcrum. The sliding weights called riders that slide on beams to balance the object. The maximum weight a triple beam balance can measure is 610 grams ( 10+500+100).

Thus, the correct answer among these options is - option D.a  pen.

ddd [48]

A new animal is discovered that is more sensitive to pain in its toes than its fingers. If we were to examine the brain of this animal we would notice that <u>the</u><u> parietal lobe</u><u> would have more brain area devoted to the toes than the fingers.</u>

<h3>What is the parietal lobe's primary purpose?</h3>

The parietal lobe is one of the major lobes in the brain, roughly located at the upper back area of the skull.It is found on both the left and right hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.

Somatosensory information from the body, such as touch, pain, temperature, and the perception of limb position, is processed by the parietal lobes. The parietal lobes play a role in integrating data from several modalities, just like the temporal lobes do. Parietal lobe houses the primary somatic sensory cortex, a part of the brain that processes information from various parts of the body.
