Radiation and chemotherapy can also kill normal, healthy cells.

Radiation treatment utilizes high-energy particles or surges, such as electron beams, or protons, x-rays, gamma rays, to destroy or damage cancer cells. It operates by preventing the cancer cells from multiplying and dividing to make more cells. Because cancer cells normally grow and distribute faster than normal cells, chemotherapy has a larger effect on cancer cells. However, the drugs used for chemotherapy are persuasive, and they can still generate injury to healthy cells.

Which of the following statements best describes the role of adenylyl cyclase in the epinephrine signaling pathway?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

It accelerates the production of a second messenger.

Explanation:

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme capable of converting ATP molecules into cyclic adenosine monophosphate AMP (cAMP). The cAMP molecule is considered to be a second messenger that transfers the hormonal signal (i.e., epinephrine) inside the cell. Subsequently, cAMP activates molecular signaling events by binding and thus activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Finally, this last protein (PKA) phosphorylates different proteins that control many diverse cellular processes.

(Electron transport chain and ATP synthase)Which of the four complexes pump protons out of the mitochondrial matrix?complexes I,

AysviL [449]

Answer:

All four complexes pump protons out of the mitochondrial matrix

Explanation:

What differs are the biochemical processed by which each complex pumps out the protons. Only ATP synthase pumps proton from the intermembrane space to the matrix. This is as it harnesses the proton motive force, created by the other complexes, to generate ATP molecules.
