The inner mitochondrial membrane contains numerous inward folds called cristae, which greatly increase the surface area of this

membrane. Because ATP is produced on the inner mitochondrial membrane, cristae enhance the ability of the mitochondria to generate ATP. What structure can be thought of as similar to these cristae?

Answer:the villi of the intestine

Explanation:like the cristae of the mitochondria which increase the surface area for the production of ATP,the villi of the intestine acts similarly.

In animals, digested food pass from the stomach to the intestine. In the intestine , enzymes acts on the food. Absorption of food takes place there and there are some structures that facilitates it. The walls of the intestine have numerous foldings , alongside the presence of finger like projection called villi. Microvilli are also presence from the cell walls of the intestine . These projections increase the surface area for the absorbing of food .they brush against food in the intestine and promotes absorption of nutrients.

Researchers are studying the abnormal activity of kinases in relation to cancer. Theoretically, how might researchers use signal
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

I am pretty sure that the answer is A.

Explanation:

Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.

I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or  growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that  leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!
