What role do phosphatases play in signal transduction pathways?

Biology
1 answer:
tino4ka555 [31]3 years ago
5 0

Ans.

The phosphatases are enzyme molecules that remove phosphate groups from their substrates. In signal transduction pathways, phosphatases deactivate protein kinases by breakdown of phosphoric acid mono esters into free hydroxyl group and a phosphate ion. It causes termination of signal transduction as protein kinases are no longer active to transmit signals.

Thus, the correct answer is 'they inactivate protein kinases to turn off signal transduction.'

Recent studies indicate the core's temperature may be close to 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit; that's nearly 2,000 degrees warmer than previously thought and hotter than the surface of the Sun, according to a 2013 Forbes article.

adoni [48]
An open circulatory system simply means that the blood flows out of vessels and into the spaces or sinuses. Invertebrates, insects and crustaceans has an open circulatory system where pump blood goes into a hemocoel and diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. In other animals, the heart pumps the blood into the body cavities, spaces or sinuses, where the blood surrounds the tissues.
