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 It causes termination of signal transduction as protein kinases are no longer active to transmit signals.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.'

Living organisms release energy gradually. why?
MArishka [77]

Answer:Living organisms release energy gradually to prevent most of the energy from heat loss. The cells release the chemical energy present in food and it should be utilized gradually to prevent the energy loss in the form of heat and light.Most of the energy released by the body is through cellular respiration.The energy is produced by the continuous process that occurs in the body ,breakdown of food and energy production.If a huge amount of energy will be released from the body it will only be in the form of heat loss so to prevent the energy from lost in the form of heat living organism release energy gradually

What’s Newton’s first law
Klio2033 [76]
Newton’s first law had to do with inertia, which is a property that explains that something in motion will continue in motion unless stopped by a force of some sort.

“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”
