Answer:
1. Inhibiting IP3 channels, leading to decreased Ca2 in the sarcoplasm and reduced contraction.
2. Increasing the relative activity of MLCP, leading to a decrease in tension.
3. Activating K channels, increasing K leaking out of the cell which hyperpolarizes it and decreases the likelihood of Ca2 entry.
Explanation
In smooth muscle, cyclic AMP (cAMP) mediates relaxation because cAMP inhibits a specific kinase required for myosin light chain protein (MLCP) phosphorylation, thereby triggering contraction in the smooth muscles. It has been shown that cAMP inhibits 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-dependent calcium ions (Ca 2+) release by activation of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). PKG proteins act to modulate Ca2+ oscillations by stimulating sarcoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase membrane proteins, increasing Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum stores and Ca2+ efflux from the cells, and activate voltage-gated potassium (K) channels, thereby leading to membrane hyperpolarization and reducing Ca2+ entry through Ca2+ channels.
The second one is the answer
Answer:
The statement that best describes the vascular tissue in seed plants is that xylem carries water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Explanation:
Xylem corresponds to the tissue of the vascular plants that is responsible for the transport and distribution of liquids necessary for their development.
The main function of xylem is to<u> carry water, mineral salts and other nutrients -in the form of raw sap- from the root to the whole plant</u>, forming a network similar to the circulatory system of higher animals.
The best choice would be C.
A saturated fatty acid is a basic unit of lipid that consists of only single carbon to carbon bonds.
Saturated fatty acids have been “saturated” with hydrogen ions and only have single carbon to carbon bonds, unlike unsaturated fatty acids that have both single and double bonds and have kinks and aren’t straight.
Saturated fatty acids are solid in room temperature(animal fats) and unsaturated fatty acids are liquid in room temperature(oils/plant fats).
Answer: D) located in the lysosomes
