Free palmitate is activated to it's coA derivative(palmitoyl-CoA) in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitochondria.

If palmitate and radioactively labeled CoA are added to liver slices, palmitoyl-CoA isolated from the cytosolic fraction is radioactive but that isolated from the mitochondrial fraction is not. Explain.

Answer: hydrolysis of intermediate palmitoyl Co A ,with loss of labeled CoA.before reaching the matrix gives the answer

Explanation:

This is because when the labeled Coenzyme A of the Plamitate combines as Palmitoy-CoA with oxaloacetate to form intermediate (palmitoyl-CoA )in Citric Acid cycle:

CoA is hydrolysed with loss of the labelled CoA which returns to the cystosol. Therefore, the labelled CoA does not reach the matrix of the mitochondrial,but returns to the Cystosol.

Consequently, the CoA in the Cystosol will be labelled in palmitoylCoA and the one in the matrix of the liver mitochondrial will be non radioactive(,will not labelled).

Enzymes belong to the lipids family.<br> True<br> False
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Among the organic macromolecules , enzymes belong in the category of proteins. Proteins are distinct from carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids in that a protein is made of amino acids. Amino acids link together into a chain that can fold into a three-dimensional shape.

Outline what has to occur in the body for a reflex and a voluntary action to occur.
enot [183]

Answer:

For involuntary actions (reflexes) the information is first detected in the sensor and travels along sensory neurons to the spinal cord. Once the action potential reaches the spinal cord, the information is transmitted across the synapse to the motor neuron. for voluntary actions,

movements are commanded by the motor cortex, the zone of the cerebrum located behind the frontal lobe. The motor cortex sends a neural message that moves through the brain stem along the spinal cord and into the neural network to the muscle being commanded.

Epinephrine causes the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase to break down glycogen within a cell. Epinephrine performs this task on int
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The fact that it reveals is that:

Epinephrine binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase on the cell membrane and does not act on glycogen phosphorylase.

Explanation:

In cellular respiration, epinephrine is a neurotransmitter and a plasma membrane hormone receptor.  It is not a lipid-derived hormone, but rather an amino acid-derived hormone. As a result, they are unable to pass through the plasma membrane of cells. They bind to receptors on the outer surface of the plasma membrane through plasma membrane hormone receptors (receptor's tyrosine kinase of the cell membrane) because they are lipid insoluble hormones.

Unlike steroid hormones, lipid insoluble hormones (epinephrine) do not directly influence glycogen phosphorylase or the target cell because they cannot enter the cell and operate directly on DNA. The activation of a signaling pathway occurs when these hormones attach to a cell surface receptor; this activates intracellular activity and performs the hormone's specific effects. Nothing crosses through the cell membrane in this fashion; the hormone that binds at the cell's surface stays at the cell's surface, while the intracellular component stays within the cell.

The ph of your stomach must be (a)more than 7 (b)basic (c)equal to 7 (d) none of the above
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

(d) None of the above

Explanation:

The pH of your stomach must be highly acidic, because the optimum pH for pepsin, the chief stomach enzyme, is 1.5.

(a) and (b) are wrong, because both conditions are basic.

(c) is wrong, because pH 7 is neutral.
