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 It causes termination of signal transduction as protein kinases are no longer active to transmit signals.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

If the aorta of the heart is damaged, which function of the heart will be affected first?
xz_007 [3.2K]

The right answer is supplying oxygenated blood to the arteries that travel to all major body parts

Aorta is the principal artery of the body.

It starts from the left ventricle of the heart, passes through the thorax and abdomen to separate at the lower part of the abdomen, into two branches called common iliac arteries for the lower limbs. We talk about thoracic aorta then abdominal aorta along its path in relation to the anatomical position. All arteries in the body (carrying oxygenated blood) are directly or indirectly derived from the aorta except the pulmonary artery.
