Glycolysis is an example of a metabolic pathway that is utilized by all human body tissues. Other pathways are much more promine

nt in, or nearly absent from, certain tissues. For example, glycogenesis is prominent in liver and muscle tissues but not in brain tissue. Tissue‑specific metabolism is often due to a large difference in the amount of a key pathway enzyme between tissues.
For each statement, determine the tissue in which the pathway enzyme is most prominent.
1. Glucokinase, an isozyme of hexokinase, phosphorylates glucose in this tissue ___________.
2. Glucose-6-phosphatase is only found in this tissue, where it hydrolyzes glucose-6- phosphate and releases glucose into the blood _____.
3. Creatine kinase regenerates ATP from ADP in this high energy demand tissue_________.
4. Lipases hydrolyze triacylglycerols in this tissue, releasing fatty acids into the blood__________.
5. β- ketoacyl-CoA transferase (thiophorase) is absent from this tissue_________.

Answer:

1. Liver

2. Liver and Kidneys

3. Mitochondria

4. Lumen of the small intestines

5. Liver

Explanation:

1. Glucose is phosphorylated into glucose-6-phosphate which is the first step of both glycogen synthesis and glycolysis, this process occurs in the liver

2.   Glucose 6-phosphate is a product of a process named gluconeogenesis which occurs in the liver it serves as a substrate for glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver.

3. Creatinine kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of creatine. In regeneration process of ATP, creatine phosphate transfers a high-energy phosphate to ADP which produces ATP and creatine

4. Initially lipase digestion lipase digestion happens in the small intestine where the bile salts reduce the surface tension of the fat droplets allowing the lipases to attack the triglyceride molecules. These molecules are taken up into the epithelial cells that line the intestinal wall, where they are resynthesized into triglyceride

5. The job of the liver is to produce ketone bodies. If the liver had this enzyme, the ketone bodies it produces would be immediately broken down by the liver before they are released, thereofore, no release of ketone bodies into the bloodstream

Which best describes a way that the periodic table is arranged?
Sveta_85 [38]
Among the ones listed above, the statement that best describes the way that the periodic table is arranged is "<span>The nonmetals are grouped together, which the exception of hydrogen.</span>" It can be seen that all of the nonmetals are placed on the far right of the periodic table except for hydrogen. They do not belong in a single column and are separated from the metals by the metalloids. Moreover, the elements are placed in the periodic table in increasing atomic number.

What are the three main ways that common ancestry may be shown through homologies
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Homology is a study of similar characters found in two species because of common ancestry.

Explanation:

1.Morphological homology: Species placed under same taxonomic category exhibit similar anatomical structures.

2.Ontogenetic homology: Species belongs to same taxonomic category embryological similarities

3.Molecular homology: Species show molecular similarities such as DNA,RNA and protein

An example of homology is seen in the skeletal strycture of vertebrates. That is arm of a human,leg of a cat,fin of a whale and wing of a bat.

The immune system has both specific and nonspecific immune responses against pathogens. Which scenario describes a specific immu
vovangra [49]

Answer:

antibodies being produced to fight off a pathogen inside the body

Explanation:

Specific immune responses, also known as the adaptive immune system are ways the body fights against pathogens. The body is able to identify cells that are unique to it. When pathogens bearing an unknown identity enter the body, antibodies are released to attack the antigens on the surface of these pathogens.

The body usually develops this immunity after a previous attack by the pathogen. Lymphocytes known as the B and T cells are released by the immune system t engulf the pathogens.
