Type 1 diabetes: Its a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. The symptoms include: increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. This can be cured if treated propertly.

Type 2 diabetes: A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose). the symptoms are the same as Type 1 but sometimes for type 2 you won't be able to feel any symptoms.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

In type 1, the body does not produce insulin.

In type 2, the body does produce insulin, but the body’s cells do not recognize its presence or the body doesn’t produce enough insulin.

Type 1 is diagnosed in children and is fairly rare.

Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes.

Oxana [17]

Explanation:

All vital organs begin to lose some functionality as one ages during adulthood. Aging changes occur in all cells, tissues and organs of the body and affect the functioning of all body systems.

The living tissue is made up of cells. There are many different types of cells, but they all have the same basic structure. Tissues are layers of similar cells that fulfill a specific function. Different types of tissues group together to form organs.

There are four basic types of tissue:

The connective tissue supports the other tissues and joins them. This includes bone, blood and lymphatic tissue, in addition to the tissues that provide support and structure to the skin and internal organs.

The epithelial tissue provides coverage for the superficial and deeper layers of the body. The skin and lining of the ducts inside the body, such as the gastrointestinal system, are made of epithelial tissue.

Muscle tissue includes three types of tissue:

Striated muscles, such as those that move the skeleton (also called voluntary muscles)

Smooth muscles (also called involuntary muscles), such as the contents in the stomach and other internal organs

Myocardium, which makes up most of the wall of the heart (also an involuntary muscle)

Nervous tissue is composed of nerve cells (neurons) and is used to carry messages to and from different parts of the body. The brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves are composed of nerve tissue.

Ras is a g-protein that is activated when a growth factor attaches to egfr. its activation results in the replacement of a gdp m

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.

Explanation:

Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.

Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.

When the protein gramicidin is integrated into a membrane, an H+ channel forms and the membrane becomes very permeable to proton

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The electron transport chain may be defined as the sequential steps of the oxidation and reduction of the cytochromes. The electron transport chain is important for the production of ATP.

The gramicidn protein is an ionophoric antibiotic that can affect the electron transport system. The electron transport rate, oxygen uptake and proton pumping remains the same as more hydrogen ions will enter in the cell. But the ATP synthesis rate might decrease and completely stop by using gramicidin.
