Answer:

Many cellular processes use similar mechanisms to achieve different goals.

Explanation:

<em>Metabolic pathways are series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes interact to remove and add phosphate groups to molecules or to move protons across a membrane. The same as in cell signalling, where the receptor proteins interact with specific molecules and often remove or ad phosphate groups. The phosphorylation of receptor proteins is very close to the process steps in metabolic pathways but with a very different function. </em>

<em>In metabolism phosphorylation is a method of transferring energy, in cell signalling it transmits information.</em>

Why "charge" reduces rate of diffusion in cell membrane

Over [174]

Answer:

Each ion or charged molecule in a fluid contributes to the fluid's overall electric charge. A difference in charge between two regions of fluid can affect the rate and direction of diffusion between them. For example, positively charged substances will tend to diffuse toward a region with an overall negative charge.

UV is an environmental human carcinogen. It’s the most prominent and universal cancer-causing agent in our environment. There is very strong evidence that each of the three main types of skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma) is caused by sun exposure. Research shows that as many as 90% of skin cancers are due to UV radiation.
