The phospholipid bilayer of the mitochondrion would be the inner and both the outer part of the membrane - C. The phospholipid bilayer is actually considered to consist of both parts of the membrane and in reality is the main constituent part of the membrane.
Answer: Option a
Explanation:
Mast cells play a vital in the inflammatory and immediate allergic reactions. These cells release inflammatory mediators such as histamines, cytokines and chemotactic factors.
These chemicals acts on the smooth muscles, mucous glands and the inflammatory cells.
Histamines are not only released when the body detects any antigen it is also released during the time of injury.
Answer:
Carbon dioxide and water are combined to give glucose in the presence of sunlight and oxygen is given off.
Explanation:
In science, matter is neither created nor destroyed but is changed from one form to another.
Photosynthesis has to do with the combination of water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight to form glucose in the light phase of photosynthesis. The glucose undergoes further reactions in the dark phase of photosynthesis to form complex carbohydrates.
The major changes in matter during photosynthesis are; water and carbon dioxide combine to form glucose and secondarily, complex carbohydrates. Oxygen is given out in the process.
Answer:
The glomerulus is a knot of cappilaries inside the Bowman's capsule. ... Podocytes are cells that have 'foot-like extensions' which are wrapped around a capillary. This increases the surface area for filtration.
Explanation:
Answer:
- Duplex RNA (dsRNA) can suppress the expression of a gene.
- miRNAs are short, single strands approximately 21 nucleotides long.
- miRNAs suppress gene expression by interfering with transcription.
- RNA interference can temporarily suppress the expression of a target gene.
Explanation:
The RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism is a naturally occurring biological process by which an organism suppresses gene expression by using sequence-specific small non-coding RNAs that are complementary to RNA (posttranscriptional silencing) or DNA (transcriptional silencing) sequences. Since its discovery, this mechanism has been exploited in molecular biology to control the expression of target genes. There are different classes of non-coding RNAs which are able to trigger RNAi gene silencing: microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs, only present in animals), etc. During their functioning, these non-coding RNAs are loaded into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to direct them to target sequences and trigger RNAi (for example, by cleaving target mRNAs). miRNAs are short, evolutionary conserved RNAs, that associate to the RISC complex in order to trigger both transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing. During their biogenesis, small non-coding RNAs are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), but they lose a strand (the passenger strand) when associate with the RISC complex, conserving only one strand (the guide strand) that bind by complementary base pairing to target sequences (either DNA in the nucleus or RNA in the cytoplasm).
