Answer and Explanation:
The mechanism of action of statins begins with the inhibition of a protein called HMG-CoA reductase, allowing its substrate to accumulate in the body and promote cholesterol reduction. At that moment, a transporter called OATP (Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptides) takes statins to the epatic tissue where they will be transformed and metabolized until they are eliminated through bile. This elimination is influenced by the P-glycoprotein, which is the main cause of the efflix presented by the bili. This process can get help from other molecules like some protease inhibitors, digoxin and cyclosporine.
Answer: Cells need to be able to survive
Explanation: they adapt
Answer:
Lymphatic: bacteria invade the body but are removed with the help of cells
Endocrine: A chemical message is signaled to help the body relax and sleep
Nervous: The brain signals for the muscles to contract
Explanation:
Lymphatic system is the part in the body that uses the cells in your body to help it.
The endocrine system is about hormones and how the body needs to maintain stable and have homeostasis.
The brain is part of the nervous system and it sends signals to other parts of the body.
When it comes to population evolution and genetics, we cannot fail to cite the Hardy-Weinberg principle which emphasizes that if evolutionary factors such as natural selection, mutation, migration and genetic oscillation do not act on a particular population, the frequencies genotypic proportions will remain constant.
The five requirements for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:
- Large-scale breeding population: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is important that this population is large, as small populations favor genetic drift (unanticipated fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to another).
- Random mating: In order for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur, it is necessary that the mating occur at random, with no preference for certain groups within the population. In this case, we say that the population is in panmixia, that is, they all mate at random.
- No mutations: Mutations alter the total alleles present in a population (gene pool). Therefore, in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium population, no mutations should occur.
- No gene flow: When there is gene flow due to migration or immigration of individuals, some genes may be included or excluded from the population. Thus, in an equilibrium situation, no gene flow occurs.
- Lack of natural selection: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, natural selection must not be acting on it. If natural selection acts, some genotypes will be selected, modifying the allelic frequencies of the population.
Answer: Ribose is synthesized from glucose and other monosaccharide molecules in living cells by a process known as pentose phosphate pathway. The pentose phosphate pathway is a series of chemical reactions taking place in the cytosol of cells.
