Answer - Since it said describe here it is
1. Helps with production of transport enzymes that help with digestion.
2. Make Hormones Insulin - Which helps cells absorb glucose or sugar from blood stream for energy.
3. Blood vessel is a vein that carry blood to the heart.

Explanation:

Acinar cells that secrete enzymes or bicarbonates  in the small intestine which are necessary for nutrient digestion. Digestive enzymes are activated only once they have reached the duodenum.

Islet cells that secrete insulin or glucagon within the pancreas is a type of Beta cell. Insulin or glucagon are both secreted in response to blood sugar level.

Blood vessels tubular structures in the circulatory system that carries blood throughout the body. The most important types are arteries and veins.

How many possible outcomes exist when two fair coins are flipped and a three-section spinner is spin??
Ganezh [65]
9 possible outcomes.

1. There are two coins being flipped.
Possibilities:
HH (two heads) HT (heads and tails) TT (two tails)

There are three sides to the spinner
Possibilities:
Side 1     Side 2    Side 3

Since there are 3 possibilities for each, multiply them together
So, 3*3 which equals 9 possibilities

imagine a cell-surface receptor protein is being newly synthesized. How can it get into the membrane that it will ultimately be
motikmotik

Answer:

the steps for a new receptor synthesis:

Explanation:

Do not forget the steps vary from an eukarityc cell to prokarityc one.  

IN AN EUKARYOTIC CELL:

1- Transcription: in the nucleus, mRNA is synthesized from the DNA sequence that codifies the protein. Exons are spliced if needed by spliceosomes.  

2- From nucleus into cytoplasm: mRNA goes through nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm were ribosomes, substrates for protein synthesis and other organelles are.

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)  

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- (The mRNA has a signal that is recognized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum) The peptide goes into this reticulum (RER) and then into Golgi apparatus. (more chemical modifications are made if needed). By this moment the protein has an inserted portion in a lipid membrane.

6- The protein is transported in a vessel that finally fusions with cytoplasmic membrane and the receptor is in destiny. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

IN A PROKARYTIC CELL:

1- Transcription (no splicing is needed, there are not exons)

2- There are not nucleus and cytoplasm divided (no transport)

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- The mRNA has a signal that is guides the growing protein to cellular membrane. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.
