<span>The juxtaglomerular cells near each kidney are stimulated to secrete the enzyme renin into the blood. Renin circulates throughout the body and converts angiotensinogen, made in the liver, into angiotensin I. In the lungs, angiotensin I is converted by hydrolysis to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II acts on the adrenal cortex to stimulate production of aldosterone. Aldosterone acts on the juxtaglomerular cells to increase sodium and water retention and to stimulate or depress further renin secretion, completing the feedback system that automatically readjusts homeostasis.</span>

Energy moves in the form of energized.......?
insens350 [35]
 <span>Actually energy is the capacity to do work. It is not moving. It is transmitted, propagated, dissippated, or radiated. It depends upon what type of energy it is. Heat energy is dissippated through conduction, convection or radiation. For conduction the particles must be in contact. For convection the particles which posses the energy must ba able to move about. For radiation, even without a material medium the energy is transmitted in the form of waves. Eg. energy from the sun. When a stone is dropped in still water the energy is imparted to the water surface. This energy is distributed all over the water surface in the form of circular waves (ripples). Electrical energy - through conducting wires or electromagnetic radiation. Light energy & sound energy are through waves.</span>

The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene regulation
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

READ THIS

Explanation:

To understand how gene expression is regulated, we must first understand how a gene codes for a functional protein in a cell. The process occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, just in slightly different manners.

Prokaryotic organisms are single-celled organisms that lack a cell nucleus, and their DNA therefore floats freely in the cell cytoplasm. To synthesize a protein, the processes of transcription and translation occur almost simultaneously. When the resulting protein is no longer needed, transcription stops. As a result, the primary method to control what type of protein and how much of each protein is expressed in a prokaryotic cell is the regulation of DNA transcription. All of the subsequent steps occur automatically. When more protein is required, more transcription occurs. Therefore, in prokaryotic cells, the control of gene expression is mostly at the transcriptional level.

Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have intracellular organelles that add to their complexity. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is contained inside the cell’s nucleus and there it is transcribed into RNA. The newly synthesized RNA is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where ribosomes translate the RNA into protein. The processes of transcription and translation are physically separated by the nuclear membrane; transcription occurs only within the nucleus, and translation occurs only outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. The regulation of gene expression can occur at all stages of the process (Figure 1). Regulation may occur when the DNA is uncoiled and loosened from nucleosomes to bind transcription factors (epigenetic level), when the RNA is transcribed (transcriptional level), when the RNA is processed and exported to the cytoplasm after it is transcribed (post-transcriptional level), when the RNA is translated into protein (translational level), or after the protein has been made (post-translational level).
