Cyclin B1, a key cell cycle regulatory protein in vertebrates, is mostly cytosolic before mitosis. Early in mitosis, however, th

e protein is phosphorylated by certain protein kinases and consequently accumulates in the nucleus. How can phosphorylation bring about nuclear accumulation of this protein?

Answer:

Phosphorylation within the nuclear export signal interferes with the function of the  signal.

Explanation:

In biochemistry, phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group (PO4) to a protein or other molecule. Phosphorylation is a major player in protein regulation mechanisms, preventing protein-catalyzed reaction product from accumulating in the body causing problems.

However, in some cases phosphorylation may cause nuclear accumulation of a protein in the nucleus of the cell. An example of this is the protein shown in the question above. In this case, phosphorylation in the nuclear export signal interferes with the signal function, resulting in protein accumulation in the nucleus.

Describe the three types of polar climates
rewona [7]
There are two types of polar climate: ET, or tundra climate; and EF, or ice cap climate. A tundra climate is characterized by having at least one month whose average temperature is above 0 °C (32 °F), while an ice cap climate has no months above 0 °C (32 °F).

Starting from the mouth, describe the pathway that takes through the digestive system
bonufazy [111]
Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat. A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.

Esophagus. Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.

Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle—called the lower esophageal sphincter —relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. This sphincter usually stays closed to keep what’s in your stomach from flowing back into your esophagus.

Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.

Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Large intestine. Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.

Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.

Research this week will be done over the Nervous System
erik [133]

Answer:

The major organs of the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs together.

The nervous system reacts to the presence of danger(instinct), stores memories, control the 5 senses, and commands the rest of the organ systems to maintain homeostasis.

The nervous system works together with the respiratory system, the circulatory system, the muscular system, and many more.
