Compare the rates of cell division occurring in your neurons and your hair follicles.

Biology

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
5 0

Once you finish growing to adulthood, neurons stop dividing. Hair follicle cells constantly divide throughout your lifetime since they are constantly producing cells that become part of the hair itself as they die. So in an adult, the rate of cell division for neurons is zero (although there is some counter-evidence but it is certainly very low) while the hair follicle rate is much higher on the order of once every few days or faster.

During glycogenolysis, glycogen is broken down and converted to glucose-6-phosphate, which can enter glycolysis or be used by th
klasskru [66]

1. The enzyme glycogen phosphorylase removes terminal glucose residues from glycogen by cleavinα(1,4) linkages.

2. Enzyme activity stops when the enzyme reaches a point four glucose residues from a branch point, which is an α(1,6) linkage

3. The transferase activity of the debranching enzymes moves three glucose residues to another branch, connecting them by an α(1,4) linkage

4. The <u>glucosidase</u> activity of the debranching enzyme removes the glucose at its<u> α(1,6) li</u>nkage

5. The enzyme <u>glycogen phosphorylase</u> continues removing terminal glucose residue  

Explanation:

Several enzymes are required for the breakdown of a glycogen molecule to a glucose-6-phosphate molecule through glycogenolysis. These enzymes are completely responsible for degrading the glycogen, remodeling the glycogen and converting the glycogen. This is a regulatory process which takes place where is glucose lack or to accelerate fluid. The main enzymes that take part in this glycogen pathway are glycogen phosphorylase and the degrading enzyme.

All the following statements about destruction of cyclins are true EXCEPT: ubiquitin targets Cdks. destruction is carried out by
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

ubiquitin targets CDKs

Explanation:

Cyclins are named such because they undergo a constant cycle of synthesis and degradation during cell division. When cyclins are synthesized, they act as an activating protein and bind to Cdks forming a cyclin-Cdk complex. This complex then acts as a signal to the cell to pass to the next cell cycle phase.

Cyclins drive the events of the cell cycle by partnering with a family of enzymes called the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks). A lone Cdk is inactive, but the binding of a cyclin activates it, making it a functional enzyme and allowing it to modify target proteins.
